Trying a number plate lookup in WA? Good move—before you buy, use the WA Department of Transport’s rego check with the plate or VIN to confirm registration status, expiry, and that the make/colour match the car in front of you.
To see if there’s finance owing or a write-off history, grab a PPSR certificate (it pulls from the national NEVDIS database).
Owner names and addresses aren’t available to the public—privacy laws say “nope”—so if someone offers a “secret lookup”, walk away.
Cross-check the VIN on the car, the plates, and the seller’s ID; if anything doesn’t line up, so should you.
