NMVTIS & Title Brands Explained | WheelClarify
NMVTIS — the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System — is a U.S. federal data network that helps prevent title washing and undisclosed salvage. WheelClarify reports draw on title intelligence so buyers can see brands that sellers sometimes omit.
Common title brands
- Salvage — insurer or state declared a total loss
- Rebuilt / reconstructed — repaired after salvage and re-titled
- Flood — water damage history
- Lemon — repurchase under lemon law
- Junk — not meant to return to the road
Why WheelClarify checks matter
Paper titles can lag or omit history after interstate moves. A WheelClarify VIN report helps spot branded titles earlier — before you fall in love with a listing photo.
