Struggling to understand my car's history from VIN

I recently bought a used car, but there’s a lot I’m unsure about. The previous owner didn’t provide any maintenance records, and I’m curious if there’s been any major repairs or recalls. I’ve heard that doing a VIN search could give me all that info, but I have no clue how it works. I tried looking up the VIN on a few sites, but I either got limited information or they tried to charge me for a full report. Is it normal to pay for this kind of thing? And how much detail can I actually expect from a VIN check? Is it even worth the hassle?
