A pre-purchase inspection, ordered by the number.
Quote. Inspect. Read.
A credentialed inspector goes to the car. The condition report posts to the record for the VIN, point by point — each finding with its photo, timestamp, and inspector — beside the decode and the history it either confirms or contradicts. The quote posts on request. No account.
Hand this record to your agent: it walks the quote and the order through the services counter, and you appear only where you’re load-bearing — approve the appointment, read the report.
A VIN is 17 characters and never uses I, O, or Q.
one point, as it posts
- the finding— stated per point — never an adjective
- the photo set— posted beside the finding
- the timestamp— when the inspector stood at the car
- the inspector— credentialed, named on every point
reads beside decode · odometer · recalls — confirm or contradict
Findings, photos, and timestamps render live at the address. This page states structure, not samples.
The seller’s adjective is not a condition report.
“Runs and drives” is a claim standing where a condition report should be. Here is what posts instead.
- “Runs and drives”?a road-test finding, posted with its timestamp — stated, not promised
- “Clean, no issues”?panel-by-panel findings, each with its photo set beside it
- “Well maintained”?the report reads beside the record — decode, odometer, recalls — confirm or contradict
- “Trust me”?every point attributed to the credentialed inspector who made it
Each point posts with the same evidence grammar as every other line on the record: value, source, timestamp. The seller sees this exact page.
The order, on the services chassis.
Quote → inspect → read. The order transacts through the services.vin counter until this door’s own flow ships — one VIN, one order, one invoice.
01Quoteposts on request
Paste the VIN. The decode supplies what the inspector would have asked — year, make, model, drivetrain — plus the one input the job needs: where the car is. The quote posts on request through the services.vin counter, vendor cost and our margin as separate posted lines.

02Inspectopens when the gate clears
A credentialed inspector goes to the car. The appointment posts its status to the order record, each step with its timestamp — scheduled, at the car, complete.

Order the inspectionnot yet open · vendor papering for the inspection-recon cluster through the services.vin chassis before paid orders
Order actions render through the compliance gate: vendor papering for the inspection-recon cluster runs through the services.vin chassis; until it clears, nothing on this page takes a paid order. The quote posts on request today.
03Readposts to the record
The condition report posts to the record point by point, beside the decode and the history it either confirms or contradicts. The report is dated — a finding argued later argues from a timestamp.

Order id, timestamps, and amounts render live at the address. Structure, not prices.
One unit with recon.
Inspection and reconditioning are one unit: what the inspection finds, a recon work order can fix. The finding drives the work order — same VIN, same counter, same record.
A dealer’s saved specification — inspect, recondition, detail — bulk-orders per VIN list through the same counter, vendor cost and margin posted per line, per unit.
The finding drives the work order. One unit, one record.

Who reads the report.
One posted report, three readers — the same points, the same timestamps.
The buyer
one deposit, one unseen car
The wire is waiting on eyes the buyer doesn’t have. The report posts before the deposit — point by point, dated before the money moves. From sight-unseen to seen.

the report first · the deposit after
The appraisal
condition moves the number
An appraisal reads condition as fact, not adjective. The posted report gives the number its basis — each finding a line the appraiser can cite.
The trade-in
condition, posted before the question
A seller can order the same inspection and post condition before the question is asked. The trade-in walks in with its report already on the record.
tradein.vinthe trade reads the same report
condition first · the question after
The report is one face of the record.
If an agent orders the inspection for you, it reads this same record: the posted quote · the appointment · the point-by-point report is the receipt that survives being shown to you — tools at apis.vin/mcp.
For the agent you send
The agent reads the same record you do. Same two routes, three representations — the numbers never differ between them.
motions: B2A · B2H2A
- B2A — the buyer is an agent — no human leaf; discover, bind, pay, worst-case cost posted before the call
- B2H2A — the human appears once, where the act is legally load-bearing — then the agent resumes
