PPSR check questions
What is a PPSR check?
A PPSR check searches the Personal Property Securities Register for finance owing on a car, and shows whether it is recorded as written off or stolen. Our report adds Takata and factory recalls and the registration details.
How much is a PPSR check?
$9.95 including GST. One payment for one report, with no account, subscription or extra fees.
Can I do a PPSR check with the rego?
Yes. Enter the rego and pick the state. If you have the 17-character VIN, you can use that instead and skip the state.
Is a REVS check the same as a PPSR check?
Yes. REVS was the old name. It was replaced by the PPSR in 2012, so a REVS check today is a PPSR check.
What if there is finance owing?
Talk to the seller before you pay. The report shows who the lender is, so the loan can be paid out as part of the sale.
How fast is it?
Most reports are ready in about a minute. You see it on screen and we email you a copy.
