In WA, start with the Department of Transport’s online registration check: enter the plate and you’ll see rego status, expiry, and basic vehicle details.
Buying a car? Run a PPSR report using the VIN to spot finance owing, write-off or stolen records—cheap insurance compared to a dodgy purchase. Cross-check the VIN/engine numbers on the car with the rego and PPSR, because plates get swapped more than footy guernseys. If the site’s sulking, call DoT or duck into a ServiceWA centre. Keep screenshots and receipts; paper trails turn chancers into saints.
