Which aspect of vehicle history can NMVTIS provide?

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) plays a crucial role in providing vital information about vehicles, primarily focusing on ownership and title status. This system is designed to aid in the prevention of automobile fraud by offering a secure database that includes details such as the title history of a vehicle, any reported accidents, whether the vehicle has been declared a total loss, and its current title status. By accessing this information, potential buyers can determine if the vehicle has a clear title or if there are any liens or significant issues associated with it.

While details about maintenance history, specific market values, and location of the vehicle during previous sales can be important, they are not provided by NMVTIS. This system does not include maintenance records, as its primary function centers around title and ownership information rather than tracking service history. Additionally, NMVTIS does not offer specific market valuations, which can vary widely based on numerous factors, nor does it keep records of the geographical locations of vehicles during past transactions. Thus, ownership and title status remain the central focus of what NMVTIS provides.
