Why buy the MrVIN report
A lower price for the same essential checks
Mileage, damage, theft, import and registration history are the checks that protect you from a bad used car. A MrVIN report covers them from EUR 19.90. carVertical usually charges noticeably more for one report.
The price is on the page, not behind a timer
You see what a MrVIN report costs before you type a VIN. carVertical shows its price late in the funnel and often wraps it in countdown discounts, so the real price is hard to pin down.
A free preview before you pay
Enter a VIN and MrVIN shows you a free preview of what the report found before you decide to buy. You never pay to find out there was nothing to see.
Built for European and imported cars
MrVIN reports are generated from official registries and licensed sources across more than 30 European countries, with import history as a first class check, not an extra.
An honest word about carVertical
carVertical is the biggest vehicle history brand in Europe. It is a Lithuanian company covering 35+ countries, it markets blockchain record keeping, and its reports are genuinely thorough. If you are checking a car from a market MrVIN does not cover yet, carVertical can be the right tool.
For a European or imported car, though, both services check the same essential things: real mileage, recorded damage, theft flags and where the car has lived. The main difference you will feel is the price and knowing it upfront.
Check the car, not the marketing
Enter the VIN and see a free preview of the car's mileage, damage and import history before you pay anything.

Frequently asked questions
Is MrVIN cheaper than carVertical?
Yes, in every market we sell in. A MrVIN report costs EUR 19.90 to 24.90 and the price is shown before you pay. carVertical prices a single report by country and usually lands between about EUR 25 and 40 before discounts, with the exact number only visible at checkout.
Is there a cheaper alternative to carVertical?
MrVIN is one. It runs the same essential checks on a used car, meaning real mileage, damage and accident records, theft flags, and import and registration history, from EUR 19.90 per report, with a free preview of the findings before you buy.
Do MrVIN and carVertical check the same things?
The essential checks overlap almost completely: odometer readings over time, recorded damage with photos where available, theft records, and the car's registration and import history. carVertical lists more total countries; MrVIN focuses on European and imported cars, which is where most mileage and damage fraud happens.
Is carVertical worth the higher price?
carVertical is a good product and if your car comes from a market MrVIN does not cover yet, it can be the right choice. For a European or imported car the reports answer the same buyer questions, so most people are simply paying more for the same peace of mind.
Can I see what a MrVIN report looks like before paying?
Yes, twice over. There is a full public sample report on this site, and when you enter your VIN you get a free preview of what we actually found for your car before any payment.
