The Role of NMVTIS and How it Works for Auto Recyclers, Salvage Yards, and Junk Yards
From the http://www.nmvtis.gov/nmvtis_history.html web site “NMVTIS serves as a repository of information related to vehicles that have been in the possession of auto recyclers, junk yards and salvage yards. This repository is then used by states and consumers to ensure that junk or salvage vehicles are not later re-sold and ensures that the VINs from destroyed vehicles can never be used for a stolen auto (see www.nicb.org). Thieves use the VINs from destroyed vehicles because they know that the true VIN will never appear again on the road and because they know that if the VINs are reported to state motor vehicle titling agencies, there is a strong likelihood that the reporting may not result in a flagged or retired record (also known as a “kill title” report). Because NMVTIS reporting is mandated and because consumers and states can access the information, the system makes it much easier to detect attempts to use VINs from destroyed or salvage vehicles in cloning operations.” For more information on the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, please visit ARA’s website by clicking here.

Insured vehicles which sustain damage and not repaired are classed as Total Loss and they are sold by the insurance companies to businesses and individuals.
