Enter the VIN of the Genuine Scooter scooter you are thinking of buying and check what its records say.
Genuine Scooter models in our data run from 2005 to 2025 and from 49 cc up to 397 cc, so a used one can be a cheap commuter or a much newer, faster machine. Whatever the age, a test ride and a few photos tell you little about past crashes or the real mileage.
A VIN-based check settles what the records say about that specific frame: damage entries, mileage readings, theft entries, ownership changes and technical data, where available. It cannot tell you how the scooter runs today, and the number alone holds none of this history. The Genuine Scooter VIN decoder shows what is encoded in the number itself, while the history report covers the records attached to it.
Records are shown where available. Coverage may vary by country and vehicle.
The model range is wide. Our data lists 15 models, from Buddy 125, Buddy 170 and Buddy 50 to Hooligan, Rattler, Roughhouse, G400C, Venture, Black Jack, Stella, Blur, Italy 150, Italy 50, Pamplona and St. Tropez. A Buddy 50 and a G400C are very different machines in engine size and likely price, and a 2007 scooter and a 2024 one sit in different places on the used market. The same questions apply to both, though: has it been crashed, is the odometer believable, is it clean on paper.
Visible condition can mislead. A scooter with fresh plastics and tidy paint may have had a repaired fall, and body panels on a small scooter are easy to replace. Mileage is just as hard to judge by eye, especially on a bike with a new seat or new grips. The seller's story and the papers can also differ from the records, and a check before a visit or a deposit costs little next to a wrong purchase.
Scooters of one brand are often built and sold in many countries, so a Genuine Scooter may have lived in more than one place before you see it. Records are shown where available, and coverage may vary by country and vehicle. A history report covers records, not current technical condition, so it does not replace an inspection by a mechanic.

The VIN decoder reads the manufacturer code, model year and country of manufacture of a Genuine Scooter. It does not show the history of the bike.
Genuine Scooter VIN decoderLooking at a specific Genuine Scooter model? Each page below explains how its VIN is read.
It can show records such as damage, mileage readings, theft entries, ownership changes and technical data, where available. Which of these appear depends on the country and the vehicle.
No. The 17 characters identify the manufacturer, describe the machine and give the model year and serial number, but they do not contain accidents, mileage, theft entries or owners. Those come from a history report. Older machines may carry shorter frame numbers that a decoder cannot read.
It makes sense to, since you can compare the records with what the seller says before spending time on a trip or paying a deposit. Ask for the VIN first, and then check it against the number stamped on the frame and the registration papers when you see the scooter.
Missing records mean nothing was found, not that nothing happened. Coverage varies, so ask the seller about the scooter's past, look for service papers, and have a mechanic inspect it.
Its history may span several countries, and records from some of them may be thin. Check that the VIN on the frame matches the papers, and ask for documents from earlier owners where possible.
