About VinAudit Canada
Helping Canadians make more informed vehicle decisions through accessible history reports, useful research tools, and automotive data solutions.
VinAudit Canada brings together available vehicle records from participating government, non-profit, and industry sources. We organize that information so buyers, sellers, dealerships, and businesses can better understand a vehicle’s reported background.
OUR BACKGROUND
A vehicle data company with North American experience
VinAudit was founded in 2011 with a focus on using technology to make vehicle information more accessible. Its U.S. vehicle history service began serving consumers in 2012, bringing together title-related and other vehicle records in a practical online report.
After several years of developing and integrating Canadian data sources, the company announced the launch of VinAudit Canada in February 2020. VinAudit Canada Inc. is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and operates as part of the wider VinAudit business.
Today, VinAudit Canada’s services focus on VIN-based vehicle history research for individuals and automotive businesses, supported by the broader company’s experience in data aggregation, reporting, and software integration.
OUR PURPOSE
Making vehicle information easier to access and understand
Better vehicle decisions begin with clearer information.
A vehicle’s appearance and asking price do not tell its full story. Registration changes, reported odometer readings, vehicle status classifications, theft records, and other historical information may provide important context before a purchase, sale, or appraisal.
Much of this information is held in separate systems. Our role is to make relevant records easier to find, read, and use, while remaining clear about the limits of the available data.

RESPONSIBLE VEHICLE RESEARCH
Transparency includes understanding the limitations
A vehicle history report reflects information available from its contributing sources at the time of the search. Coverage varies by vehicle, jurisdiction, record type, and reporting source. Not every incident or ownership event is recorded in an accessible database.
No matching record is not the same as proof that no problem exists. We encourage customers to consider vehicle history alongside seller documentation, official registry checks, manufacturer recall verification, and an independent inspection when appropriate.
