CARFAX Glossary

CO2 Emissions: CO2 is an abbreviation for carbon dioxide, a gas that is emitted from a vehicle as a result of fuel combustion. The quantity of carbon dioxide released in the exhaust gases is a good measure of the amount of fuel a car is burning. That quantity is measured by the number of grams of CO2 released into the air for every kilometer that is driven.

Model year: This term is defined by the manufacturer but it is typically the year the vehicle is built. If the model year does not appear on the CARFAX report, it is because the manufacturer did not include this information in the VIN. Model year can normally be determined by the vehicle age.

Number of records: A CARFAX record refers to a specific incidence and date in the history of the vehicle. Please note that the history of younger vehicles tends to have fewer entries. CARFAX continuously works on getting more data sources and historical information in order to enrich the report

Quick check: A snapshot of the information CARFAX has abstracted from our extensive database to determine whether a vehicle has been reported stolen, reported scrapped, publicly imported or ever used for non-personal purposes. This summary is based upon all the information supplied to CARFAX from various sources. Additional information about this vehicle, including these potential problems, may exist and may not have been reported to CARFAX.

Vehicle reference: User-provided value to identify the vehicle during the CARFAX Vehicle History Report retrieval process and to confirm vehicle identity on the report itself.

How to use this report
