nwabobo:
Can this be used to trace vehicle less stolen in Nigeria assuming someone buys and registers it?

Yes, I think that is the major reason it is there along with the chassis number and engine number

Is there a database I can check if a car stolen about 2 years ago has been re registered by someone else in Nigeria?

I am not into vehicle registration or licensing. my responses are from my basic knowledge on vehicle identification.
About checking for a stolen vehicle, I with say a very big YES, that i think is the main reason for VIN in the first place.
Is it possible in Nigeria? I dont know. It depends on Nigerian Database of Vehicles. But i think it is worth a shot.
Good Luck.

Simple
Tokunbo
1. Ask for the custom papers and do a VIN check on the said vehicle
2. Make sure you by from a registered car stand
3. Check for repainting of the car, most obvious in the bonnet area where it's hard to respray
4. Check the glass for any engraving

Nigerian used
1. Ask for customs document and ensure its original
2. Ask for vehicle documents original ones
3. Confirm name on documents match sellers name if not let he/she provide proof of sale from the original owner and possibly receipt of sale (2 separate documents)
4. Input the plate number in frsc database and make sure it conforms with the said vehicle registered to
5. Make sure all documents are original not photocopy
6. Take a selfie with the seller and the said vehicle.
