Auction date, lot number and whether it sold.
Recorded damage
Primary and secondary damage, as the auction recorded it.
Historical photos
Photos taken at the auction, where available.
Mileage at sale
The odometer reading recorded at auction — compare it with today’s.
Title information
Salvage, rebuilt or flood title brands, where recorded.
Safety recalls
Recall campaigns for the make, model and year.
Why US imports need a check
- Written off, then repairedCars declared a total loss in the US can be repaired, shipped to the Gulf and sold again.
- Mileage that doesn’t add upAn auction odometer reading is a fixed point you can compare with the dashboard.
- Flood and hail carsStorm-damaged cars often pass through auctions before they resurface for sale.
What a check can’t show
- Repairs made after the car left the auction.
- Accidents in the UAE — the report links you to the free official UAE checks for that.
- Damage that was never reported to an auction or insurer.
If our sources have nothing on the car, we say exactly that: “No accident or auction records found in the sources checked.”
