Every lot, one record

Each record on Lot Bid History is the listing as it was published: auction, lot number, date, damage, mileage, keys and the last bid, with the lot photos. A field we did not receive says "Not reported" instead of a guess. Owner-submitted listings are marked as such.

Common questions

What is a lot record?

The details a vehicle was listed with at a US auto auction: lot number, date, damage, mileage, keys and the last bid, with the lot photos. Fields we did not receive are shown as "Not reported".

Are all records auction lots?

Most are. A few are owner-submitted listings, marked as such on the page, where the owner supplied the photos, mileage and damage description and no auction record is held here.

Does "Not reported" mean the car has no history?

No. It only means that field is not in our copy of the record. Check an official vehicle history report before buying.

How current is a record?

Each record shows the vehicle at the time of the listing. The vehicle may have been repaired or resold since.

I own this vehicle. Can the record be taken down?

Yes, free of charge. See Take a car down.
