A CarFacts report is a vehicle history check for used cars in Australia—the boring paperwork that saves you from exciting disasters.

It pulls data from government and insurance sources (including the PPSR/NMVTIS) to flag finance owing, write-off or flood damage, theft status, odometer anomalies, and usually registration details.

Handy before you hand over your hard‑earned for a “one owner, only driven to church” special on Tradingpost.

Think of it as cheap insurance: a few dollars to avoid buying someone else’s problem child—because mystery lights belong on Christmas trees, not dashboards.
