How it works
The price comes from cars listed for sale in Canada this month, counted by price for each model year. The report shows the typical asking price and where most listings fall, and puts the year you picked next to its neighbours so you can see how fast the price falls.
The recalls come from Transport Canada's recall list for that model, and the fuel cost from Natural Resources Canada's official rating and Statistics Canada's pump price for your province. Each part of the report loads on its own.
The takeaways at the top are written from those figures: where the price sits on its curve, whether the recall count is unusual for the model, and what the fuel costs. Your privacy comes first. What you enter stays on your device unless you choose to text it to Uobo.
What this does not cover
- It describes a model and model year, not one car. It cannot see an individual car's accidents, owners, liens or service history. Get a vehicle history report and an inspection for the car you are serious about.
- Prices are asking prices, not what cars sell for. Trim, options, condition and kilometres change a fair price. Use the price check tool to see where a particular asking price sits.
- Recalls are filed by model and year, not by car, so the report cannot say whether a particular car had its repair. The maker knows, so give the VIN to a dealership of that brand.
- Fuel costs use the official lab rating. Real use varies with driving, load and weather.
Common questions
What is in a used car report?
The typical price for the model year and where most listings fall, how the price changes across model years, the number of Transport Canada recalls, the official fuel rating with a yearly fuel cost, and how many are listed for sale.
Is this the same as a vehicle history report?
No. A history report is about one car: its accidents, owners, liens and service records. This report is about the model and year in general, so use both when you are buying.
Why does a model year have so many recalls?
Recalls are issued when a maker or Transport Canada finds a safety defect, and some model years have more than others. A high count is worth a question, not an automatic reason to rule the car out, since recall repairs are normally free.
How is the yearly fuel cost worked out?
From the official combined fuel rating, the kilometres you enter and the latest monthly average pump price in your province from Statistics Canada. Electric cars show their rating and range instead.
Where do the prices come from?
From cars listed for sale in Canada, counted by price and refreshed every month. The page shows how many listings it compared and which month they are from.
