A word from our customers

Almost bought a 2005 Mazda 3 sedan, advertised with 88,000km. Ran a CarHistory check and realised the odometer was wound back from over 200,000km. Thank you CarHistory for saving me the nightmare.

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.

I used car history to check the details of a car that looked too good to be true. And it was! It was a repaired write off that was likely to cost me serious dollars down the track. CarHistory potentially saved me thousands and has since helped me buy a good car.

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.

Where can I find the VIN?

Where can I find the VIN?

The 17 character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is displayed on the registration certificate. It can also be found on the vehicle itself, either on the compliance plate located in the engine bay or on one of the door posts (where the door latches when it is closed), or on the passenger side windshield.
