Definitions:
First Owner
A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. When a title is issued to the first owner of a new vehicle, CARFAX labels the title record with "First Owner".
Odometer Rollback
If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading, then the odometer may have been "rolled back." This is an indicator of mileage fraud.
New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles. CARFAX identifies this event and labels the title record as "New Owner Reported".
Private Use
Vehicle was registered by the owner for private or personal use.
