Hunting for a proper vehicle checker? In Australia, start with a PPSR check to see if it’s stolen, written off, or still on finance, then run a rego check with your state authority (Service NSW, VicRoads, etc.).
Match the VIN and engine numbers on the car to the paperwork, and eyeball the logbook for regular servicing and believable kilometres.
On the car, watch for overspray, uneven panel gaps, damp carpets and any clutch or transmission slip—if it smells like regret, it probably is.
Finally, pay for a pre‑purchase inspection; it’s the cheapest insurance you’ll buy that isn’t an actual insurance policy.
