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.
