Helping you buy the perfect car

“I’m so glad I did a full check. The car looked great but turned out to be flood damaged. Best money ever spent. Small outlay for peace of mind and saved me thousands and a nightmare”

Kelly, VIC

“I went to the mechanic to get a blue slip... when they advised me that my car had been in a major, major accident I did the check and saw my car was a repairable write off - a lesson I'll only ever learn once “

Sam, VIC

“Almost bought a 2005 Mazda3 sedan, advertised with 88,000km. Ran a carhistory check and realised the odometer was wound back from over 200,000km”

  • The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on the vehicle itself, either on the dashboard, or on one of the door posts (where the door latches when it is closed). The vehicle’s VIN is also displayed on the registration certificate and insurance policy documentation.

  • The CarHistory Report is a comprehensive report on the reported history of a used motor vehicle that has been registered in Australia. The CarHistory Report is designed to alert you to potentially significant information about a vehicle.

    A CarHistory Report includes a PPSR Certificate and depending on the information returned, the report can provide you with:

    • A PPSR Certificate - formerly REVS (which indicates if there is existing finance on the vehicle)
    • If the vehicle has suffered damage resulting in a written-off status, e.g. hail, fire, accident, flood
    • If the vehicle’s odometer reading is consistent with what has previously been reported, or if it has potentially been wound back (based on the reading you provide)
    • If the car has previously been reported as written off or stolen
    • Previous sale listings
    • Vehicle safety and emission ratings
    • What the car is expected to be worth in the current market

Your report also remains viewable online through the Customer Login section of the website for a period of 90 days after purchase.
