What it cannot tell you

A TailFax is a summary of public records, not an inspection. It shows which directives apply, not whether they were complied with, and it holds no maintenance records or logbooks. Use it alongside the aircraft's own logbooks, a pre-purchase inspection and a title search, not in place of them.
