Tasmania has a higher proportion of older vehicles than mainland states. Older vehicles are more likely to have accumulated insurance claims, previous finance, or undisclosed write-off history.
Tasmania regularly receives used vehicles shipped from the mainland. These cars carry full Australian history — PPSR checks that history regardless of where the vehicle was previously registered.
Tasmania's agricultural sector means many utes and work vehicles on the used market. Farm vehicles and rural 4WDs often carry undisclosed finance or have been involved in agricultural accidents.
