Doing a WOVR check in WA? Grab the VIN and run a PPSR search (about $2) — it pulls national NEVDIS data showing if the car’s written‑off, stolen, or encumbered.
If it says Statutory Write‑Off, forget rego — it’s parts-only forever; Repairable Write‑Off can return to WA roads after proper repairs and an authorised inspection.
Cross-check the VIN/engine numbers on the plate and body, and always get the PPSR certificate before handing over a cent — screenshots don’t count.
For re-licensing in WA, expect identity checks, evidence of repairs, and inspection fees; phone the Department of Transport if you enjoy hold music and absolute certainty.
Do this before the test drive; afterwards you’ll be emotionally compromised and suddenly “love the patina.”
