Is a Kia Sportage VIN decoder different than a vehicle history report?

The iVIN Reports you see when you're using the Kia Sportage VIN check are not the same as a traditional vehicle history report from AutoCheck or CARFAX. But most iVIN Reports do have a summary of the vehicle history report included in them. The summary can help you find out basic information and if there are any reported issues, including title issues, accidents, number of owners and previous types of use. If you want to learn more, you can choose to buy a full vehicle history report directly from CARFAX or AutoCheck. Some full vehicle history reports are included for free in the iVIN Report if a seller provides it. Please keep in mind that all issues may not have been officially reported. It's a good idea to do your due diligence, as well as have a knowledgeable mechanic inspect a vehicle prior to making a purchase.
