Glossary
Damage Indicator
Damage can be a result of many different types of events. Examples include contact with objects (other cars, trees,
traffic signs, road debris, etc), vandalism, or weather-related events. Not every damage event is reported to
CARFAX. As details about the damage event become available, those additional details are added to the CARFAX
Vehicle History Report. CARFAX recommends that you have this vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic.
This CARFAX Vehicle History Report is based only on information supplied to CARFAX and available as
of 8/7/23 at 5:10:22 AM (CDT). Other information about this vehicle, including problems, may not have
been reported to CARFAX. Use this report as one important tool, along with a vehicle inspection and
test drive, to make a better decision about your next used car.
Damage Severity
Damage events result in one of the following severity levels:
Minor: Generally, minor damage is cosmetic (including dents or scratches), may only require
reconditioning, and typically does not compromise a vehicle's operation and/or safety.
Moderate: Moderate damage may affect multiple components of the vehicle and may impair the
vehicle's operation and/or safety.
Severe: Severe damage usually affects multiple components of the vehicle and is likely to compromise
the vehicle's operation and/or safety.
CARFAX recommends getting a pre-purchase inspection at a certified collision repair facility.

Failed Emissions Inspection
The emissions check performed during a vehicle inspection indicated the vehicle was emitting more than allowable
emissions standards and/or had missing or modified parts. Repeated failed emissions records can indicate engine
problems and CARFAX recommends you have the vehicle inspected.
First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Inspections
Many states or counties require annual or biennial emissions and/or safety inspections. Odometer readings are
collected at the time of the inspection.
New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor
Vehicles.
Ownership History
CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions
represent changes in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes
all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1991 and titled
solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in
the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please
consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
Title Issued
A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or
registration record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a
registration and bill of sale are used as proof of ownership.
CARFAX DEPENDS ON ITS SOURCES FOR THE ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF ITS INFORMATION. THEREFORE, NO
RESPONSIBILITY IS ASSUMED BY CARFAX OR ITS AGENTS FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THIS REPORT. CARFAX FURTHER
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
