femi4:VIN only works in abroad cos they keep and file the vehicle history.. But not in Nigeria. You can't ascertain anything with VIN for cars used in Nigeria.. The VIN history shows only when the car was abroad |

zikter: Which car have you seen was manufactured in a certain year and was not sold until 4 years later and was left deliberately in Toyota show room or Honda show room Or who have you seen would buy a brand new car today and leave it untouched for 4 years before driving it. All the tokunbo nonsense coming into Nigeria is not any thing 3 months used or 4 months used junk car agents in nigeria are going around about. A car made in 2013 would have had more than 1 if not 3 or 4 owners and it has been driven for years and years, the only saving grace is the roads where it was driven which are developed countries roads so when you see it after 10 years it looks like a human being drove it. This does not mean when the 2013 car gets to Nigeria it is costing the price the brand new one didnt even cosst 10 years ago in dollars when it came out. Omo the math is not adding up 1 Like |

Chidexter: Yes, he's right. The backbone, chassis, framework, platform etc. will be deformed or broken. No can fix ALL in an Accident vehicle cos there are some things that cannot be fixed else you abuse the car. |

donhils: VIN can tell you the original state of the car as manufactured. So by implications if there's a problem along the line you can detect having prior knowledge of it original state. However the information you can get through VIN check is limited to major mechanical and structural changes. |

It all depends on the degree of severity of the accident. So by accident I suppose any incident or contact that will require the activation of the SRS and deployment of the airbag(s). And that is where to start from, a close inspection of all the airbag panels to see if they have been changed or reattached. As for the exterior, these days body work is absolute and panels are often replaced whole instead of beaten back or filled so it may not appear evident except to the very experienced eye. I however think the best way to determine the quality of a vehicle or the depth of repairs/modifications is the age old, proven test drive. If the vendor is willing to let you stress test it at all you will certainly discover life after accident in its handling particularly if you are familiar with that model. Gun the engine over a short stretch, hit the brakes hard and apply steering. All the surgery will cry out. PS. This applies to all vehicles including the Nigerian commissioned ones that do not have credible records. Test drive na sure banker. |

Aufbauh: D way I dey laugh at you. VIN ko VAN ni. VIN is for imported vehicles where rules and regulations work. Come and use VIN to check vehicle accident history in Naija make I see. Who will record thst his vehicle has an accident in Nigeria? How many Naija drivers know abt VIN? |

People just shouting VIN. From what I understand, a VIN check up will only show MAJOR STRUCTURAL damage, particularly those that had insurance claims and of course a police report. For minor damages (yes in the US) which I decide to repair on my own, VIN won't tell you anything. All the same it's still very useful. |
