Want a car’s past without the soap opera? In Australia, do a PPSR check with the vehicle’s VIN to confirm finance owing, write-off, and stolen status.
Then eyeball the service history, match odometer readings to dates, and ask for a current roadworthy; paid reports often bundle NEVDIS data for extra detail.
Check for recall completion and tell-tale flood or hail clues—musty carpets, rust freckles in weird places, and flickery electrics.
If anything whiffs of drama, walk away; there’s always another set of keys waiting on Tradingpost.
