Vehicle History Reports

In order to clarify the difference between general vehicle history and a De Silva Motor Engineers (Pvt) Ltd. Vehicle History Report, we set out to explain the two in detail here.

When one thinks of vehicle history, there are several things one can learn. For example, when considering a specific make and model of car, you can ask the following questions:

  • What year was this model introduced?
  • Where was it manufactured?
  • How many models were sold (yearly/lifetime)?
  • Is the car still in production?

These type of vehicle history questions focus on general historical information about a specific make or model of car. This is a great way to inform yourself about an automaker and the heritage of its vehicles.

A vehicle history report reveals a different kind of information about a car: information about that particular vehicle’s past. This makes a vehicle history report an extremely valuable resource for used car shoppers. Imagine you’re interested in buying a used car, but you’re not sure if everything the advertisement/seller/dealer says about it is accurate. Getting a De Silva Motor Engineers (Pvt) Ltd. Vehicle History Report can often help answer the following questions:

  • What are the vehicle’s technical specifications?
  • How many owners has the vehicle had?
  • How was the vehicle previously used (e.g. taxi or rental car)?
  • Are there any service records available?

Are there any problems with the odometer reading (e.g. has the odometer been rolled back)?

As you can see, there is a significant difference between vehicle history and a vehicle history report. Vehicle history generally describes a specific vehicle’s heritage, while a vehicle history report is a highly practical resource when shopping for used cars. It’s always recommended to inform yourself as much as possible about a vehicle before you buy it. This can save you a lot of time, money, and headaches later.
