Want to check a car by its rego plate? In Australia, each state runs its own free registration check—use Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, DOT WA, SA EzyReg, Access Canberra, Service Tasmania, or NT MVR.
You’ll see registration status, expiry, and basic vehicle details; it’s not a full history. For finance, write-off and stolen status, do a PPSR search (about $2) with the VIN—cheap insurance before handing over cash. Avoid third‑party lookups that charge more for the same info and watch for convincingly fake sites. Always cross-check plate, VIN and engine numbers against the paperwork. If anything smells dodgy, walk away—there are plenty of options on Tradingpost.
