Paste your run list. Every car gets its model-year reliability grade and a check on whether its mileage sits right where owners report that model's big failures.
Pick a car and its miles to see exactly what your run list shows for it.
Built for the five minutes you have between lots, on your phone or at your desk.
Every car gets a clear call from its grade and its mileage, so you can scan a 40-car list in a minute.
See where owners report each problem, like head gaskets at 76–120k, and where this car's miles fall in it.
Graded separately, because a car with a great engine and a bad transmission is a different buy.
Scan the VIN barcode with your phone, or paste a whole run list with miles and lot numbers at once.
Problems with a recall issued are marked, so you know which repairs a dealer does for free.
Sort and export your list to a spreadsheet. On Pro, print an independent reliability sheet for the cars you sell.
Scan VINs, paste them with miles, or pick the year, make and model. VINs are decoded with NHTSA's own decoder.
Each car shows its model year's grade, its most-reported problems, and where its mileage sits in each failure window.
Sort by Pass first, check the condition report on the Cautions, and spend your money on the cars least likely to come back.
Keep pulling history reports. GradeMyCar answers the question they can't.

What this model tends to do next
