True or False: You can use the VIN of a car to check its accident history effectively.

Using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to check a car's accident history is indeed effective, which makes this statement true. The VIN is a unique code assigned to every vehicle that serves as its fingerprint. With the VIN, you can access various databases and services that compile a car's history, including any accidents it may have been involved in, as well as past ownership, service records, and title status. This information can be crucial for potential buyers to evaluate the vehicle's condition and history before making a purchase.

The other options, such as limiting this ability to older vehicles or those with clean titles, do not accurately represent the functionality of the VIN; it can be used for any vehicle to access comprehensive history data, regardless of its age or title status.
