Vehicle History Risk Factors

• Salvage/Flood/Rebuilt: NMVTIS title brand status indicating severe damage, flood exposure, or rebuilt after total loss.
• Theft: Reliable analysis of theft records and total-loss events.
• Odometer: Suspicious mileage “jumps” or inconsistencies across service, auction, and DMV records, which inform buyers of potential issues.
• Owners/Use: Ownership review, taxi/ride-share/commercial use, liens/leases, and possible usage restrictions.
