Can I use a carVertical report as legal evidence in court?

No, a carVertical report cannot be used as legal evidence in court.

While our reports provide valuable insights into a vehicle’s history, they are informational tools designed to help buyers and owners make smarter decisions. They do not serve as legal documents.

How can a carVertical report help?

Even though carVertical reports are not legal evidence, they can still be a useful tool in several ways:

  • Identifying potential issues early – A report can highlight red flags like mileage fraud, past accidents, or theft records, helping you avoid risky purchases.
  • Negotiating a better deal – If the report uncovers issues such as previous accidents or odometer tampering, you can use this information to negotiate a lower price with the seller.
  • Verifying seller claims – Sellers may sometimes provide incomplete or misleading information about a car’s history. A carVertical report can help you cross-check their statements and ensure transparency.
  • Supporting your case with additional proof – If you're considering legal action, consult a lawyer about whether the report could serve as a supporting document alongside official evidence.

To avoid unexpected issues, we strongly recommend checking a vehicle’s history before signing a purchase agreement. A carVertical report can help you make an informed decision and reduce the risk of buying a car with hidden problems.
