Whenever you are planning to buy a second-hand vehicle, it is important that you take the time to invest in a Personal Property Security Register (PPSR). A PPSR check is a car history report that informs you of the vehicle’s true condition, helping you avoid any nasty surprises after handing over your hard-earned cash. With a properly prepared and researched vehicle history report on your side, you will be able to purchase your desired used car with the ultimate peace of mind.
If you’re in need of a PPSR car check to safeguard your next purchase, call us on 13002TOUGH or get in touch online to make an enquiry.
What is a Car History Report?
When you apply for a PPSR check for a used vehicle, you will receive a detailed vehicle history report that reveals the background and true condition of the vehicle. This report will reveal the following:
- If the car has been written off due to damage
- If there is still money owning on the vehicle
- If the car has been stolen or has a different owner from the one listed
- Previous sale listings
- Vehicle safety and emission ratings
- The vehicle’s value on the current market
- If there are any discrepancies with the odometer
- ANCAP/safety rating
- Green star rating
Why Use a Car History Report?
A PPSR check is designed to give you the reassurance that the used vehicle you want to buy has no hidden fees or other bad surprises. Without receiving a vehicle history report, you may find yourself handing over a lot of money for a car that is stolen, damaged, or completely written off. This means you are left out of pocket without a vehicle to show for it, as stolen cars need to be handed over to the authorities to be returned to their rightful owner.
If you are looking to buy a car from a private seller, it is essential that you invest in a PPSR check. This helps you avoid malicious sellers who are looking to pass off a stolen or damaged vehicle to you. It also eliminates the risk of working with sellers who have good intentions but are unaware of the true condition of the vehicle. To apply for a PPSR check, simply contact us with the vehicle’s registration number, identity number (VIN), or chassis number, along with the odometer reading. You should receive your completed report within 24 hours.
We also recommend applying for a PPSR check if you are buying a used car from a licensed dealer to ensure you are receiving exactly what it says on the listing.
What Should I Do if the Car History Report Reveals a Problem?
If the PPSR check reveals issues with the vehicle, you should avoid making the purchase until the problem has been resolved. This helps you avoid further issues down the line, such as having the vehicle repossessed by the police due to being stolen.
If the problems are fixable, such as minor damages, it is the responsibility of the seller to remedy these issues before they sell the car to you. If they refuse to do so, or the issues are too great to fix, you should promptly walk away from the deal.
