Abstract
A system, method and computer readable storage medium for generating vehicle history information are provided which, based on vehicle history records, determine whether a particular vehicle has a reliability issue and/or has passed import inspection. The reliability issue portion accesses a central database of vehicle history records for particular vehicles and a reliability issue data supplier look-up table to determine whether a reliability issue exists, and then displays the reliability issue or a file indicating that no reliability issue exists. The reliability issue may relate to a recall status of the vehicle and/or to the existence of a manufacturer buyback. The import compliance, or gray market, portion accesses the central database records to determine whether title/registration records in different countries exist along with an import record. Depending on the conclusions reached, the system and method displays an appropriate advisory record.
