Looking for a free VIN check in NSW? You can confirm current registration and CTP details for free via Service NSW using the VIN or plate, but that’s where the “free” bit ends.
For the important stuff—finance owing, written‑off or stolen status, odometer tampering flags and import records—you need a PPSR certificate, which costs about $2 AUD and pulls data from NEVDIS (the old “REVS check” is now PPSR nationwide).
Grab the 17‑character VIN, do the free rego check to see if it’s legit, then buy the PPSR report and save the certificate like it’s your last Tim Tam.
Cheap, quick, and a lot less painful than discovering your “bargain” is encumbered after you’ve handed over the cash.
