Comment Definitions
Failed Emissions Inspection
The tests and inspections performed at a specific emissions check indicated the vehicle was emitting more than allowable emissions standards and/or had missing or modified parts. An emissions failure, even if the vehicle passes at a future date, generates a Failed Emissions Record in the CARFAX database.
Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title
The vehicle sustained damage and was rebuilt or reconstructed, then placed back on the road.
Salvage/Junk Title
States issue salvage titles when an insurance company takes possession of a vehicle as a result of a claim. This generally occurs after a vehicle has been declared a total loss. States issue junk titles to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.
Unreliable Odometer (Not Actual Mileage)
When the seller certifies, under the Truth in Mileage Act, that the odometer reading is NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE. This may occur because the disclosed odometer reading was not accurate and verifiable.
