When considering the purchase of a used vehicle, you will need to know if it is in good condition, how it has been maintained, and if it has had any problems in the past. After all, you don’t want a lemon. Here at Peruzzi Mazda, our Mazda service department is here to help. Here’s how to look up vehicle maintenance history.

Vehicle History Report

A vehicle history report, or VHR, lists all the information that’s known about the ownership and repair history of a vehicle. This will show you how often it has been maintained and serviced. You likely have seen or heard about CARFAX® reports. Those are VHRs.

How to Find a VHR

We offer CARFAX reports to potential customers on most of our vehicles. We also keep a list of CARFAX-verified one-owner vehicles. However, if you are considering a vehicle that doesn’t already have a CARFAX VHR, there is a way to get one in three simple steps:

Step 1: Find Your VIN

To get a VHR on a vehicle, you need to first know its vehicle identification number, or VIN. This can be found in several places like the manual and on the car itself on a sticker.

Step 2: Select a Service

There are a number of online services that offer VHRs like CARFAX and AutoCheck. Find one that suits you.

Step 3: Request Your VHR

Through the service of your choice, enter the VIN and information to request a VHR.

Feel Confident in Your Next Vehicle

The best way to find out a vehicle’s maintenance history is to ask the dealer. Come down to our Fairless Hills Mazda dealership and let us help. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your next car. Our dealers will offer everything they know about the pre-owned cars on our lot.
