The vehicle was identified as having been stolen from its legal owner and a subsequent insurance claim was classified as such. The payout is based on whether the vehicle had to be replaced or if any damage occurred while vehicle was out of the owner’s possession.
This does not mean vehicle is currently stolen.
To confirm vehicle's current stolen status, please see the Stolen Vehicle Check section of the Vehicle History Report.
Before you buy a used car, we recommend that you get a CARFAX Canada Vehicle History Report, take a thorough test drive and have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic or auto technician to make sure the vehicle is functioning properly. We would also recommend speaking with your provincial vehicle registration authority to further ensure vehicle can be registered with and operated in your province.
