CARPROOF was a Canadian vehicle history report provider that helped used-car buyers and sellers review available information about a vehicle’s past. CARPROOF is no longer offered as a separate standalone brand. It has been rebranded as CARFAX Canada.
Today, shoppers who search for CARPROOF reports are generally looking for CARFAX Canada vehicle history reports or other Canadian vehicle history report options. These reports may help buyers review available information such as registration history, accident or damage records, odometer readings, title brands, lien-related information, recall status, theft records, and other vehicle history signals depending on the VIN and available data.
VinAudit.ca provides an independent Canadian vehicle history report option that may help buyers review available vehicle information before contacting a seller, scheduling an inspection, or completing a purchase.
Disclosure: VinAudit.ca is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by CARPROOF, CARFAX, or CARFAX Canada. CARPROOF, CARFAX, and CARFAX Canada are trademarks of their respective owners. References are used for factual identification and comparison only.
CARPROOF was acquired and later became CARFAX Canada. This means that buyers looking for a current CARPROOF report are now generally directed to CARFAX Canada’s vehicle history products.
For used-car shoppers, the practical takeaway is simple: CARPROOF is no longer a separate report product for consumers. If a dealer, listing site, or seller mentions a CARPROOF report, it may refer to an older report, older terminology, or the current CARFAX Canada report experience.
When reviewing any seller-provided report, check the VIN, report date, mileage entries, accident or damage records, lien information, and whether the report matches the actual vehicle being sold.
Current CARFAX Canada pricing lists the following report options:
- Vehicle History Report: $58.95
- Vehicle History Report + Lien Check: $77.95
- 3 Vehicle History Reports + 1 Lien Check: $146.95
Pricing, taxes, package availability, and report contents may change. Buyers should verify current pricing and report details directly with the provider before purchase.
For shoppers comparing several vehicles, a lower-cost vehicle history option may be useful for early screening. For a vehicle you are seriously considering, especially in a private sale, it is also important to review lien information, seller documents, provincial records where available, and inspection results before making a final decision.
Because CARPROOF is now CARFAX Canada, new CARPROOF-branded consumer reports are generally no longer issued as a separate product. However, some dealers, marketplaces, or private sellers may still refer to older CARPROOF reports or may provide a current CARFAX Canada vehicle history report.
If a seller provides a free report, review it carefully before relying on it. Confirm that the VIN, report date, mileage entries, title or registration details, and vehicle description match the car being sold.
A free seller-provided report can be helpful, but it should not replace your own due diligence. Buyers should also review seller documents, lien status where needed, provincial records where available, and an independent inspection.
CARPROOF, now CARFAX Canada, and Ontario’s Used Vehicle Information Package, or UVIP, serve different purposes. A vehicle history report may show available accident, damage, registration, lien, odometer, recall, theft, and other vehicle history information depending on the provider and data availability.
Ontario’s UVIP is a government document used in Ontario private vehicle sales. It may include vehicle registration history, lien information, vehicle details, and other required sale-related information. In Ontario, sellers are generally required to provide a UVIP when selling a used vehicle privately.
Buyers should not treat one source as a complete replacement for the other. A CARFAX Canada report, VinAudit.ca report, UVIP, seller documents, lien records, and an inspection may each provide different pieces of information.
For Ontario-specific requirements, buyers and sellers should review the official Used Vehicle Information Package information from the Ontario government.
VinAudit.ca can be used as an independent Canadian vehicle history research option. A VinAudit.ca report may help buyers review available information tied to a VIN, including title-related details, accident records, odometer readings, salvage or branded-title records, theft records, recalls, registration-related information, and other available vehicle history signals.
Report contents vary by VIN and available data. No vehicle history report can guarantee that every accident, repair, lien, title issue, odometer event, theft record, or service record will appear.
Before buying a used vehicle, compare any report with the seller’s documents, the vehicle’s physical VIN, provincial records where available, lien information where needed, a test drive, and an independent inspection.
CARPROOF is now CARFAX Canada, so buyers searching for a CARPROOF report are usually looking for current CARFAX Canada vehicle history products or other Canadian vehicle history report options.
VinAudit.ca offers an independent alternative for Canadian vehicle history research. It can help buyers review available vehicle history information before deciding whether to contact a seller, request more documents, order additional records, or schedule an inspection.
Use vehicle history reports as one part of your used-car buying process, not as the only source of truth.
