Yes, you can do a free number plate (rego) check in Australia—just use your state’s transport website: VicRoads, Service NSW, QLD TMR, SA ezyReg, WA DOT, TAS Transport, NT MVR, or ACT Access Canberra.
It’ll confirm if the rego is current, the make/model, and sometimes any restrictions—handy when a “one careful owner” story feels a bit… inventive.
For deeper history (finance owing, write‑off, stolen), that’s a PPSR check and it costs a few dollars, but it’s cheaper than inheriting someone else’s mess.
Buying from Tradingpost or anywhere else, do the free rego check first, then run the PPSR if it’s serious—belt, braces, and no nasty surprises.
