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.
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.
First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Lexus Recall / Service Campaign
Portions of this report have been included under license from Toyota Motor North America, Inc. ("TOYOTA"), License Agreement TMS1013 . This data applies only to vehicle marketed or originally sold in Mexico and the United States of America, including Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the other United States territories and protectorates with currently open safety or emissions recalls, or service campaigns. While TOYOTA provides data to Carfax Inc. on a regular basis, this report may not include very recent activity. For the manufacturer's most current information on recall/campaign activity for any Toyota, Lexus or Scion brand vehicle, you must go to http://toyota.com/recall or http://lexus.com/recall.
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.
Reliability Forecast
The CARFAX 3-Year Reliability Forecast predicts the likelihood of repairs for a vehicle over the next three years. This forecast is based on vehicles of the same year, make, and model with similar mileage, damage, service history, and other factors, and assumes an average of 15,000 miles driven per year. Repairs are separate from regular maintenance, such as oil changes. Some of the repairs predicted may be covered under warranty.  The 3-Year Reliability Forecast is based on data reported to Carfax and is only a prediction, not a guarantee. 
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.
