Where Can I Check the Accident History When Buying a Used Car?

[SanEverly]

On the local traffic public security website, you can query the accident history by entering the license plate number and the last six digits of the VIN. Below are specific methods to distinguish the quality of a used car: Inspect the Exterior Carefully: For any accident vehicle, after major repairs, there will be noticeable differences in the gaps between body panels and the waistline of the car. Observe the Doors: Doors that have not been dismantled should open and close smoothly. Doors that have been disassembled multiple times not only have difficulty in operation but may also have damaged seals. In severe cases, the door may not close properly without applying force. After pulling down the door seal, normal vehicles should have weld points that are perfectly round and slightly recessed. If the weld points are rough and unevenly arranged, and there is a color difference in the paint on both sides of the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar, it can be confirmed that the car is an accident vehicle. Check the A, B, C, and D Pillars: Look for any deformations, cuts, sheet metal repairs, or repainting. If any are found, the vehicle likely has been involved in a significant accident.
