What the PPSR checks
The Personal Property Securities Register is the Australian register for security interests in personal property. A vehicle search checks the VIN or chassis identifier used in the search. RegoCheck starts with a plate and state to help identify the vehicle for the report.
You can also search directly on the government PPSR website if you only need the official search.
Read each part of the result
Security interests
A registration may indicate a lender or another party has a recorded interest. It does not state the outstanding loan balance.
Search certificate
Check the identifier and search time on the official certificate and keep a copy with your purchase records.
Additional vehicle details
NEVDIS may supply identity, stolen and write-off information when available. Those records are separate from security-interest results.
Other history
Odometer, recall and valuation information are additional report features where data is available; they are not PPSR search fields.
