Here are the methods to check the accident history of a used car: You can call the insurance company's customer service, provide the license plate number and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to inquire. You can provide the vehicle license to an insurance agent, who can help with the inquiry. You can bring the vehicle license and ID card to the insurance company's customer service center for inquiry. Precautions when purchasing a used car: Check if the patterns on the front and back pages of the vehicle license match when combined, and verify if the photo and VIN on the vehicle license match the actual vehicle. Check the vehicle insurance: Verify if the VIN and engine number on the insurance policy match those on the vehicle license, and ensure the insurance is still valid. Check the vehicle registration certificate: Ensure the font on the registration certificate matches that on the vehicle license, and verify if the VIN and engine number are the same as those on the vehicle license. Check the manufacturing date and registration date (for domestic cars, if the gap between manufacturing and registration exceeds six months, it might be a stock vehicle). Confirm if these details match the dealer's description. Also, check the registration history for frequent transfers in a short period (frequent transfers might indicate poor vehicle condition).
