Real stories from real customers
"Checked the rego before viewing - found $18k finance owing! Seller had no idea. Saved me from disaster."

Australia doesn't have national vehicle registration - each state and territory manages its own system with different rules, costs, and requirements. This creates significant problems when buying interstate vehicles. Here's the complete breakdown:
🚗 Roadworthy Certificate:
Pink Slip required BEFORE transfer (but seller doesn't need one to sell)
🏥 CTP Insurance:
Must be purchased SEPARATELY before rego. NOT included in registration fee.
💰 Rego Cost (Avg):
$300-400/year + CTP $350-600/year = $650-1,000 total
⚠️ Unique Issues:
Pink Slips only valid 42 days. Expired rego vehicles must pass Blue Slip (stricter).
🚗 Roadworthy Certificate:
RWC (Roadworthy Certificate) REQUIRED by seller before sale. No sale without it.
🏥 CTP Insurance:
INCLUDED in rego price. Called TAC (Transport Accident Commission).
💰 Rego Cost (Avg):
$800-950/year (includes CTP/TAC). Most expensive state.
⚠️ Unique Issues:
VIC plates stay with car (not owner). Unroadworthy penalties: $9,913 fine.
🚗 Roadworthy Certificate:
Safety Certificate REQUIRED by seller before sale. Must be done.
🏥 CTP Insurance:
INCLUDED in rego price automatically.
💰 Rego Cost (Avg):
$700-850/year (includes CTP). Second most expensive.
⚠️ Unique Issues:
Stolen vehicle database publicly accessible. QLD Police update daily.
🚗 Roadworthy Certificate:
Vehicle Examination Certificate (VEC) NOT required for private sales.
🏥 CTP Insurance:
Purchased separately but usually paid with rego renewal.
💰 Rego Cost (Avg):
$350-450/year + CTP $300-500 = $650-950 total
⚠️ Unique Issues:
WA has oldest vehicle fleet (avg 10.6 years). Higher risk of mechanical issues.
🚗 Roadworthy Certificate:
Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) NOT mandatory for private sales.
🏥 CTP Insurance:
Separate purchase required. NOT included in rego.
💰 Rego Cost (Avg):
$500-650/year + CTP $350-550 = $850-1,200 total
⚠️ Unique Issues:
SA highest CTP costs in Australia. Factor this into interstate transfers.
🚗 Roadworthy Certificate:
Vehicle Inspection Report required for vehicles over 5 years old.
🏥 CTP Insurance:
INCLUDED in rego price (Motor Accidents Insurance Board).
💰 Rego Cost (Avg):
$400-550/year (includes CTP). Cheapest in Australia!
⚠️ Unique Issues:
TAS stolen vehicle data NOT available on PPSR. Limited verification options.
Problem 1: "Roadworthy" Means Different Things
Buy car in WA (no roadworthy required). Transfer to VIC (roadworthy mandatory). Fails VIC RWC with $3,200 repairs needed. You're stuck with the cost. Always get pre-purchase inspection regardless of state laws.
Problem 2: CTP Insurance Shock
NSW car with $350 CTP. Transfer to SA = $600 CTP (75% more expensive). Budget for CTP differences when buying interstate. SA buyers pay 40-70% more than other states.
Problem 3: Expired Rego Hidden Costs
Buy NSW car with expired rego. Need Blue Slip (not Pink Slip). Blue Slip inspections are 3x stricter and cost $200+ vs $40 Pink Slip. Factor $500-2,000 extra for expired NSW rego vehicles.
NEVDIS (National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System) is the behind-the-scenes database that connects all 8 state and territory vehicle registers. Managed by Austroads, it allows information sharing between:
NEVDIS is registration data only. It DOES NOT include:
This is why our $34.99 check is comprehensive: We query NEVDIS (rego status, stolen, write-offs) AND PPSR (finance owing) AND service history databases. You get the complete picture, not just one data source.
TAS stolen vehicle information is currently unavailable from NEVDIS and PPSR. This creates a massive security gap:
• Cars stolen in Tasmania won't show as stolen in national databases
• TAS-registered vehicles have higher fraud risk when sold interstate
• Criminal syndicates exploit this gap by "washing" stolen vehicles through TAS
• Always demand extra proof of ownership for TAS vehicles
Extra checks for TAS vehicles: Verify seller ID matches rego documents. Request original purchase invoice. Check service history at authorized dealers. Get independent VIN etching verification.
