Before you buy a car, you should always check its history. A car history tool can alert you about the most important factors in the vehicle’s history, and all you need to know to get a report is the VIN number or rego. You can find the VIN number stamped onto the chassis, usually in the engine bay.
Although you can usually check the rego of your car for free, you cannot see all of the other vital information about the car’s history. Getting a PPSR check yourself costs $2, but again, you only see limited information. A full car history report costs money, but it’s a one-time payment that reveals everything you need to know about a car, including whether it is damaged or stolen.
A PPSR check consults the federal Personal Property Securities Register to see who has interests in personal property, including cars. In other words, it tells you who is paying for the car and whether there is finance owing on it. PPSR checks form part of car history checks, but the latter also includes other information such as safety recalls and rego checks.
Carify provides the most reliable car history reports in Australia, with a comprehensive breakdown of everything you need to know about a car. Our vehicle history reports include a PPSR check, rego check, and a visual damage report that sets us apart from other car history tools.
Although you can use a registration plate number (REGO) to check any vehicle's history with Carify, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be located on the vehicle in various places, such as the dashboard or door post, as well as on the registration certificate and insurance policy documentation.
