If you're considering buying a used car there are 2 types of vehicle checks you can make online – a free registration check and a vehicle history check.
The free registration check includes whether the NSW registration is suspended or cancelled, and the vehicle's registration expiry date.
For a fee, the vehicle history report includes:
if and why the vehicle was written-off anywhere in Australia from 2004
if the vehicle, its number plates or its engine are stolen
the number of registered operators in NSW
the vehicle's past use, for example, as a taxi/hire car
if the vehicle has single/joint registered operators
the vehicle's first registration date in NSW
the past three odometer readings (if applicable).
Eligibility
A registration check can only be run on vehicles previously or currently registered in NSW.
A vehicle history report is not available for conditionally registered vehicles.
What you need
the vehicle's NSW registration plate number
a valid credit card.
