CarfaxLess AutoCheck Score — What 0-100 Means

The AutoCheck Score is a unique feature of AutoCheck reports that summarizes vehicle condition on a 0-100 scale. No other provider, including CARFAX, offers this. Full comparison →
Understanding the AutoCheck Score
How to interpret the 0-100 scale.
| Score Range | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100 | Excellent | Clean history, low risk |
| 80-89 | Good | Minor issues, still recommended |
| 60-79 | Fair | Some history, investigate further |
| Below 60 | Poor | Significant issues, high risk |
The score is relative — it compares against vehicles of the same year and class. A score of 85 for a 2010 car means it is in better condition than most 2010s.

Using the Score in Real Buying Decisions
Practical application of the 0-100 scale.
The AutoCheck Score is most valuable when comparing multiple vehicles. If you are choosing between three similar cars, the scores give you an instant ranking of which has the cleanest history — without needing to read three full reports in detail.
However, the score should not be used in isolation. A vehicle with a score of 85 could have a single minor accident that slightly reduced its score, while a vehicle with a score of 75 could have multiple small issues that compound. Always read the detailed findings alongside the score.
For the most informed decision, combine the AutoCheck Score with a CARFAX report's detailed service and accident data. The $9.99 bundle gives you both the quick benchmark (score) and the deep dive (CARFAX detail).
