VIN means vehicle Identification Number, also called Chassis Number. It is on every car and usually included in details posted when a car is put up for salvage sale on any auction website. Therefore if being sold the link to the advert will appear to give an insight what happened before the vehicle left the country it was sold branch new.

Google. This will give links to auction sites it was put up for sale. You get to see basic info...
Full report costs a token. (includes, odometer reading, number of owners, pictures as it was sold etc) Someone here on nairaland does it.

Never trust those guys..
But..you would have taken a quick snap with your phone.

I wasn't with my phone at that particular time. I had left it in the car I drove there.

It's usually located below the driver side wiper on the windshield. It's a combination of letters and numbers. That's the easiest place to find it.
