Want the WOVR truth in NSW? Start with the free Service NSW Rego Check using the plate or VIN; it will show if the vehicle’s on the Written‑Off Vehicle Register.
For the whole sordid backstory, run a PPSR search (about $2) with the VIN; that taps NEVDIS and lists write‑off status, stolen records, and any finance owing.
Look for flags like Statutory Write‑Off or Repairable Write‑Off, plus notes about any WOVI inspection.
If it’s on WOVR, expect grief: tougher insurance, skinnier resale, and sometimes registration hurdles—so go in eyes wide open.
Do both checks before handing over cash; it’s cheaper than inheriting someone else’s aquatic adventure ute.
