Your history report,
actually decoded.

A CARFAX tells you what happened. CarmaDeal tells you what it means. Upload the PDF or paste the report text — we verify title brands, check the odometer math line by line, grade the maintenance evidence, and hand you the exact questions to ask the seller.

Findings come from deterministic history rules with page citations. Scores are never set by AI. Limit 5 analyses per account per day.

What we check

Title brands

Salvage, rebuilt, junk, flood, fire, lemon buyback, and not-actual-mileage brands — the findings low mileage can never offset.

Odometer timeline

Every reading in chronological order: rollbacks, small inconsistencies, multi-year reporting gaps, and implausible accumulation.

Accident & damage events

Each event separately: reported severity, structural involvement, airbag deployment, towing, and whether a repair is documented afterward.

Ownership & use

Owner count and tenure, personal vs. rental/fleet/taxi use, and the states the car lived in — road salt and flood geography included.

Maintenance evidence

Documented, partially documented, or unverifiable — because a missing record is not proof of neglect, and not proof of care either.

Report integrity

VIN consistency across pages and against your listing, report freshness, and duplicated administrative events that inflate a history.

How it works

Get the report from the seller

Any CARFAX or AutoCheck PDF — or copy the text straight from the report web view. Sellers who won't share one are telling you something too.

We run 40+ deterministic checks

Title brands, rollback math, reporting gaps, VIN consistency, stale-report detection. Same report in, same result out — every time.

You get a cited verdict

History risk, evidence confidence, a purchase recommendation, seller questions, and a print-ready inspection work order — each finding cited to a page of your report.

A complete sample analysis

A real end-to-end example of what you get from an uploaded CARFAX or AutoCheck report — 2020 Honda CR-V, synthetic data, rendered by the exact same engine as your report. See it inside a full sample deal report →

Red flags & items requiring attention

No red flags were raised by the deterministic rules for this document. Absence of a reported issue is not proof none occurred — keep the inspection.

Ownership & usage analysis

Two personal-use owners, both registered in Ohio — a road-salt state; have the inspection include the underbody.

Questions for the seller
Can you provide service records beyond what the report shows — especially anything after April 2024?The documented history ends there.
Do you have the invoice for the September 2023 collision repair?It confirms what was actually fixed after the reported rear impact.
Can I see the current title document before purchase?The physical title confirms brands and lien status the report may lag on.
When were the tires and brakes last replaced, with receipts?Wear items rarely appear in history reports.
Why is the vehicle being sold?Context for the timeline you just read.

BOTTOM LINE

No title brand was reported across two Ohio owners. One minor rear accident (May 2023) has a repair documented four months later, and ten odometer readings rise chronologically at about 12,850 miles per year. Maintenance evidence is partially documented — ask for records newer than April 2024 and verify the rear repair at the inspection.

Questions, answered

Is this a replacement for CARFAX or AutoCheck?
No. CarmaDeal doesn't sell history data — we analyze the report you already have and decode what it actually says. You still get the report from the seller, the dealer, or the provider.
Why do I need an account?
Report analysis is the most expensive thing we run. The free account keeps it free for everyone and saves every analysis to your garage. No credit card.
Does AI decide the result?
No. Findings come from deterministic rules with page citations — the same report always produces the same result. AI only writes the narrative around the verified findings and is never allowed to change them.
What formats work?
Digital PDFs and pasted report text. Scanned images aren't supported yet — copy-paste from the report's web view instead.
