To search a car’s rego in WA, use the WA Department of Transport’s free vehicle licence check—fast, simple, and blessedly boring.

• Have the number plate or VIN/chassis ready.
• Enter the details to see licence status, expiry date and any concessions.
• It won’t reveal finance or write-off history—grab a PPSR check for that.

Perfect before buying on Tradingpost or anywhere else, and a fine way to dodge fines, clunkers and awkward phone calls to your insurer.
