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.
