Short answer: you can’t run an NSW rego check with just the VIN; Service NSW’s Rego Check needs the number plate.
If you’ve only got the VIN, buy a PPSR vehicle history report (small fee) to see if it’s written off, stolen, or under finance, then chase the plate for the actual rego status.
With the plate in hand, use the Service NSW Rego Check to confirm registration, expiry date, and CTP status.
Pro tip: if a seller won’t provide the plate, treat that like a flashing hazard light and keep scrolling.
