FAQ

What does AutoCheck Score mean?

A vehicle's AutoCheck Score is based on information in Experian's AutoCheck® vehicle history report specific to that vehicle's VIN (vehicle identification number). The AutoCheck Score rates a vehicle's history compared with all used vehicles on the road (after 1981, when VINs were standardized) and provides a comparison to vehicles of similar model year and vehicle class. This consolidation of the AutoCheck vehicle history data into an easy-to-understand score helps consumers make more informed purchase decisions and helps dealers better explain vehicle history events to their customers.

What factors impact the AutoCheck Score?

There are a number of determinants, including:
  • Age
  • AutoCheck AssuredTM status
  • Mileage
  • Vehicle class
  • Number of owners
  • Lease history
  • Emission testing history
  • Accident history
  • Theft and repossession history
  • Police, taxi or government use
Based on the AutoCheck Score range of 1 to 100, is it bad for a vehicle to have a lower score?

Not necessarily. For instance, a score of 35 could be reflective of the age, mileage and other factors associated with that vehicle, but when compared with similar vehicles it may score within, or even above, the range (i.e., the score range could be 24 to 33). You should always compare the vehicle with the score range to get a relative comparison.
