If by “Car True Report” you mean carVertical (the vehicle-history report service), then yes—it is a legitimate and widely used vehicle-history checking service, but I would not treat its report as a 100% guarantee that a car is good.
How reliable is carVertical?
carVertical says it collects vehicle-history information from 900–1,000+ databases and sources, including government registries, insurance/damage databases, law-enforcement records, inspection centres and repair/service sources. �

It can be very useful for detecting things such as:
🚗 Accident/damage history
🔢 Odometer/mileage discrepancies
📝 Registration/ownership events
🚨 Theft records
💰 Some financial/legal issues
📸 Historical damage photographs, where available
🛠️Some service and inspection records
However, the biggest limitation is missing information. If an accident, repair or mileage reading was never reported to one of the databases they access, carVertical may not know about it. Independent automotive guidance also warns that important repairs can be absent from vehicle-history reports. �

For example, a clean carVertical report does NOT mean the car is definitely accident-free. It means that no significant problem was found in the data available to carVertical.
Interestingly, even carVertical itself says its score/report should not be the sole basis for buying a car and recommends a professional physical inspection. �

If you're considering buying a used/imported car in Tanzania, I would use carVertical as one part of the investigation:
VIN/carVertical report → inspect the actual car → scan ECU → check service records → have an experienced mechanic inspect it.
If you give me the VIN/chassis number of the car you're considering, I can also tell you what information you should specifically look for in the carVertical report and which
