Popular Post Frederic Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Whenever buying a second-hand vehicle, it is essential to do some research on the history of that particular vehicle to see if it was involved in accidents in the past. There are a few options: 1. International - VIN Report VIN Check and get Vehicle History Report | Free VIN Search (faxvin.com) There are several available websites for this. You will be able to see if the vehicle has been involved in accidents. This is definitely useful if the vehicle has been imported from another country like US. 2. UAE - Ministry of Interior Accidents Inquiry Ministry of Interior MOI - Accidents Inquiry This portal service shows the accident history stored in the Federal UAE database. For each accident it will show you photos and information about the severity. 3. UAE-Dubai RTA Vehicle Status Report RTA - Services Will provide you a detailed report with the odometer reading, previous inspection history, or accidents. Using these services will give you a good background on the second-hand vehicle you are about to buy, and if the car has been involved in serious accidents. 7 4 1 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Looper Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 A great post @Frederic. Thanks a lot. It will definitely help everyone to check the status for cars when they look to buy one. My old Santa Fe had a parking lot accident where it was hit by a delivery van while it was parked - literally a fender bender. Checked but did not find any report on the MOI. Perhaps it only reports larger accidents or accidents other than in Dubai. 2 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the federal database and Dubai database are not (yet) aligned. "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Srikumar Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 MOI is mainly for AD and northern Emirates who follow the federal system. This is a free service. Dubai system is separate. I believe this is a paid service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same here as well I suppose. 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had or rather the Mrs. had a minor one as well when she scratched the back door in a parking lot. Could be for major ones only i guess. but @Frederic great post, think vaibhav has come up with just the right word for you 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
