buying used car. VIN check - what websites?

[Marko 1]

Im in the market to buy a used car and its been years since i have done it. What websites are any of you using to check the VIN for any money owing on it, insurance and theft claims? Theres a few sites on a google search but the prices vary from $6 to $36.

PPSR looks to be something the Federal Government has introduced to replace stuff like REVS - https://transact.ppsr.gov.au/ppsr/QuickVINSearch?li=False

Yeah I've just used ppsr, it gives you the basics like written off or stolen vehicle and engine number etc, can't remember if it lists mileage or not though

I think some of the more expensive ones are abit more in depth

No need to pay that much if you are just checking out those details in particular. There are websites out there like this one that offers free VIN check.  NICB.org and some DMV sites offer similar online services.

That site doesn't work for vehicles in Australia
