What’s in a Maine vehicle history report?

Every try.vin report for a ME-registered vehicle is assembled from millions of records across Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles, insurance carriers, auction houses, service chains, and the federal NMVTIS database. Here’s what you get back in seconds:

Title brands & ownership history

See every title ever issued on the vehicle in Maine and any other state — salvage, rebuilt, junk, flood, fire, hail, lemon, or clear — along with the estimated number of previous owners and how the vehicle was used (personal, fleet, rental, taxi, police, government).

Accident & damage records

Review every reported collision, airbag deployment, structural damage event, and insurance total-loss claim, with primary and secondary damage locations and severity ratings.

Odometer history

A full timeline of reported mileage readings from Maine inspections, service records, title transfers, and auctions, with rollback and “not actual miles” alerts flagged automatically.

Open safety recalls

Every open NHTSA recall on the VIN, including the defect description and the free manufacturer repair. Never drive off the lot with an unresolved recall.

Theft & lien alerts

Cross-checked theft records and lien/loan flags, so you don’t unknowingly buy a stolen vehicle or inherit someone else’s unpaid balance.

Specs from the ME VIN

Decoded make, model, model year, trim, body style, engine, transmission, fuel type, drivetrain, and country of assembly — confirmed against the 17-character VIN on file.

Where to find the VIN on a vehicle in Maine

The Vehicle Identification Number is a 17-character code printed in several standard locations on every U.S.-registered car, truck, and motorcycle. On a passenger vehicle in Maine, you’ll typically find it:

  • • Stamped on a metal plate at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side (visible from outside through the glass).
  • • On a sticker in the driver-side door jamb or B-pillar.
  • • On the vehicle title and registration issued by Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
  • • On insurance ID cards and dealer service invoices.
  • • For motorcycles, stamped on the steering neck or right side of the frame.

A legitimate Maine VIN never contains the letters I, O, or Q — they are excluded to avoid confusion with the digits 1 and 0. If a seller refuses to share the VIN, walk away.
