Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free lookup tool for decoding equipment VINs and serial numbers, estimating market value, and guiding buyers through title, lien, theft, and ownership checks.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

MachVerity is presented as a v0.1 database and lookup workflow for used heavy equipment. The page supplies two sample VINs, identifies NHTSA as the source for live identity and recall data, and says valuation appears only when comparable sales support it rather than being guessed. Buyers can also use linked guides covering serial-number locations, inspections, operating hours, title and lien checks, theft, and common equipment scams. The site says owners and dealers may contribute sales records as the dataset expands.
