Vehicle claims history reports
A vehicle claims history report will tell you:
Whether a specific vehicle has ever been part of an ICBC claim
The type of claim (e.g. collision, vandalism)
The date the damage occurred and the amount paid or the amount of the outstanding damage estimate, if available
The location of the primary area of damage (available for most claims)
whether a claim was made to ICBC for theft of the vehicleThe vehicle's status (the report also provides a definition of the status)
If the vehicle may be required to pass a mechanical/safety inspection (due to an outstanding Notice and Order Number 1 or Number 2)
If there may be certain restrictions (other than the requirement for a mechanical inspection) that might prevent your customer from licensing the vehicle (Some examples: a Court Order which prevents your customer from transferring the vehicle into their name; the vehicle may have been reported as stolen, etc.)
Whether the vehicle has been imported from another jurisdiction (the report will state if the vehicle is a Canadian or foreign import, but the date the vehicle entered B.C. is not available).
