Quick Motor Vehicle Search

Important: Our new PPSR Car Check has been designed to provide key information from a PPSR vehicle search in a simpler format. You’ll know at a glance if the vehicle you’re looking to buy has any registered security interests against it, if it’s been reported written off or stolen.
Try the new PPSR Car Check here.

Search for a security interest or other registration kind by motor vehicle VIN or Chassis number. Use of the PPSR is subject to the PPS Register General Conditions of Use, Third Party Data Conditions (for example NEVDIS data conditions) and the appropriate fees.

If the motor vehicle does not have a VIN with 17 characters, you should enter the Chassis number.

Warning: If you do not enter the VIN or Chassis number correctly, you may risk not finding registrations for the motor vehicle. If you enter the incorrect VIN or Chassis number the PPSR will still conduct the search and charge you for the cost of the search. This field is not case sensitive. There is no ability to search by engine number.
