Major Milestone for the World's Largest
Vehicle History Database
CENTREVILLE, Va., Dec. 6, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- The CARFAX database, the largest vehicle history
database in the world, now includes more than 30 billion records,
the company announced today. CARFAX data is a resource that helps
millions of people shop, buy, service, and sell used cars more
confidently. This milestone came from one of the more than 131,000
sources that report vehicle information directly to CARFAX.
CARFAX was founded in 1984 to combat odometer fraud. It took
more than 15 years for the company to reach 1 billion records.
CARFAX has continued its relentless pursuit of data, and the
company now loads a billion records about every 5 months.
"The amount of information we're loading daily is staggering,"
said Faisal Hasan, CARFAX General
Manager of Data. "On average, we load more than 6.6 million records
every single day. That can be anything from open safety recalls to
vehicle registrations to new accident information. The largest
percent of the data we're loading today is service and maintenance
records. We are uniquely positioned because of these records to
help people at every stage of the car ownership experience, from
shopping to servicing to selling."
The 30 billionth record loaded into the CARFAX database is an
"offered for sale" record on a 2020 Kia Telluride. This Telluride
is a one-owner, well-maintained, certified pre-owned SUV that has
had no accidents or damage reported to CARFAX.
