What's Included in a Car History Check?

Every CheckMyCars report covers all the critical checks you need before buying a used car in Australia.

💰

Finance Owing (PPSR)

Find out if there's money still owed on the vehicle. If finance is owing, the lender can repossess the car — even after you've paid for it.

🚨

Stolen Vehicle Check

Verify the vehicle hasn't been reported stolen. Buying a stolen car means losing both the vehicle and your money with no legal recourse.

💥

Write-Off History

Check if the car has been written off — either statutory (unrepairable) or repairable. Some sellers hide write-off status to inflate the price.

📋

Registration Details

Confirm the vehicle's registration status, expiry date, and that the details match what the seller is telling you.

🔧

Safety Recalls

Find outstanding safety recalls that need to be addressed. Some recalls involve critical safety issues that must be fixed before driving.

ANCAP Safety Rating

See the vehicle's official ANCAP safety rating so you know how well it protects occupants in a crash.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car History Checks

What is a car history check?
A car history check is a comprehensive report that reveals critical information about a vehicle, including finance owing, stolen status, write-off history, registration details, and any security interests registered on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). It protects you from buying a vehicle with hidden problems.
How much does a car history check cost in Australia?
A car history check with CheckMyCars starts from just $5.99, making it one of the most affordable options in Australia. Other providers typically charge $30–$40 for similar reports.
Why should I get a car history check before buying a used car?
Without a car history check, you could unknowingly buy a vehicle with outstanding finance (the lender can repossess it), undisclosed write-off damage, or stolen status (police can seize it). A car history check gives you peace of mind and protects your investment.
What is the difference between a PPSR check and a car history check?
A PPSR check specifically searches the Personal Property Securities Register for finance owing and security interests. A car history check is more comprehensive — it includes the PPSR check plus stolen status, write-off history, registration details, safety recalls, and vehicle specifications.
Can I check a car history by registration plate?
Yes! With CheckMyCars, you can search by either registration plate number or VIN. If you search by rego, we automatically resolve the VIN and run all checks against the correct vehicle.
