REVS Checks Frequently Asked Questions
We've compiled a quick list of our most frequently asked car history check and finance check questions to help you get ahead in your car purchase.
How to check if a car has finance owing for free?
Outstanding finance checks on cars are based on the PPSR database. This database is an Australian national register of security interest in personal property, that is, debt owing on and secured by personal items like a car. It replaced the state-based registers (REVS) and the ASIC Register of Company Charges.
Enter the vehicle identification number (VIN) or registration plate number to get started. Click Search or Run Check. We'll verify the number against the PPSR database, then pull the finance owing information for you.
It's not free as the PPSR database attracts a fee to use.
How do I find out the car's history or do a stolen vehicle check?
You can use the VIN or registration plate number (Rego number) to look up the specs and history of any used vehicle registered in Australia.
Simply submit a rego or VIN check using the registration number or the vehicle identification number. You'll then get a detailed report outlining the full history to make sure there isn't any unexpected surprise waiting for you.
When should I get a car history check?
If you're buying a used car in Australia, you should check if the seller had a registered security interest or other issues including a car write-off check (for damages like hail, water/storm, etc.). Once you're planning to buy a second-hand vehicle, you should get a car history report before you commit to the sale or hand over any funds.
How do I find/check the VIN number in Australia?
The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code. It is unique to each vehicle and therefore is its identifier. With this code, the official government and business resources can track vehicle warranties, recalls, insurance claims, registrations, etc.
It also means you can access certain information tied to specific used vehicles when you're trying to decide if you should buy it.
The VIN is located in several areas on the vehicle, including:
- Where the dashboard and the windshield meet on the driver's side of the car
- Where the door closes on the driver's side
- Where the door and the body of the vehicle connects Ð the door jamb on the driver's side
- On the front of the engine block
Where do you get your car history report data?
We pull data from all state car databases via the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System (NEVDIS). These include the authorised organizations for REVS checks for NSW, WA, QLD, and others. We also get information from the PPSR register which is a combination of state REVS registers and the ASIC register.
Together, these various databases allow us to provide you with information on:
- Vehicle Registration Number
- Registration Year
- Vehicle Make & Model
- Engine Number & Specs
- Vehicle Colour
- Finance Owing Status
- Stolen Vehicle Status
- Vehicle Write-Off Status (WOVR)
- Number Plate & Expiry Date
- Vehicle recalls
