CARFAX Canada

CARFAX Canada’s 2025 “Year in Rear View,” based on over one million vehicle‑history reports, reveals that one‑quarter of used cars have collision records, with accident‑related claims exceeding $9.2 billion. Weather damage affected more than 50 000 vehicles, predominately hail in Alberta ($414.8 M). Outstanding liens were found on 40 % of vehicles, and VIN fraud may involve over 372 000 cloned VINs. The data underscores the necessity for buyers to obtain a CARFAX report to avoid costly surprises from accidents, damage, liens or fraud.
