The VIN should be able to tell you the history of the car. Or better still, consult your prophet, and he'll be able to tell you if it was involved in an accident or not. This I have seen. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

Yeah, with VIN check on your system you can know the past history of the car. This include the state of the car when it was manufactured. The car's vehicle identification number (VIN) is the identifying code for a SPECIFIC automobile. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications and manufacturer. The VIN can be used to track recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts and insurance coverage. 60 Likes 4 Shares |

People talk about VIN, Nigeria doesn’t record vehicle history. So if the the accident happened in Nigeria, there’s no record. My time tested street formula, Pay very close attention to the body work. Different shades of paint color in areas of first impact like front, bonnet, doors, etc Uneven surfaces Rough edges Light reflection from body painting. If it’s not shiny and smooth, it’s been worked on. 175 Likes 11 Shares |

My mechanic will once he opens the bonnet. He showed me some and I am sure I can to an extent. First signal and wrong trigger is once they paint the car and claim any funny reasons like scratch bla bla bla , know that u are likely buying an accidented car. No SERIOUS DEALER will paint or fix scratches before selling the car. Also watch out for year and acclaimed upgrade A lot of them are accidented so instead of buying the front and back , they will buy the higher version. When u see this too, RUNNNNN 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Stephenmoka4: Sure. Very easy for an auto dealer. Even without a vin check, I can tell if it's had impact before by examining the car closely. |

If it is a Tokumbo car, you can carry out a VIN check. If it is a registered car, unfortunately there is nothing you can do except you get an experienced panel beater or mechanic to look at it. Nigeria doesn’t have such documented records for cars like other advanced countries. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
