Agree with DE. Vehicle history reports (like Carfax or Autocheck) are simply to track the reported damage from accidents and insurance claims. They are pretty much useless, as already pointed out.
I've seen a vehicle with major damage and probably should have been totalled out with nothing on Carfax. Dealer even tried to tell me with a straight face that the car had never been in an accident when the damn passenger door didn't even close properly because it was so badly out of alignment. On the other side of that, I've had a friend have an accident reported on his Corvette's Carfax because someone bumped him in the parking lot and their insurance completely replaced a barely cracked bumper
