What the history shows

Each insurance claim with its date, the repaired parts and the amount paid, owner and plate changes, rental or business use and the mileage readings. The report lists every change of owner, so a car that changed hands often is easy to spot.

Where to find the VIN

Chevrolet and Daewoo cars built in Korea usually have a VIN starting with KL. It is in the listing, the registration document and at the bottom left of the windscreen. The Korean VIN decoder shows the maker and the model year.
