Revs Check Report

Revs Check Report: vehicle history reports for Australian buyers

Revs Check Report is an online service that issues reports on the history of used vehicles in Australia. The company presents itself as the country's number one option for car background checks and offers a fast enquiry system that, it says, delivers results in seconds. The service is aimed at second-hand car buyers who need to know the legal and technical status of the vehicle before completing the purchase.

How to request the report

The process consists of three steps. First, the user enters the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) or the registration number (Rego). The system then displays the vehicle details for the applicant to validate: type, engine, colour, make and model. Finally, payment is made via PayPal or credit card and the report is sent by email, with a summary by SMS to the mobile phone. No prior registration is required. The site states that the VIN report costs $7.90 and the registration report costs $9.90, and that it can be used in all states and territories: New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory.

Report contents

The Revs Check Report includes data on reported theft, engine theft records, number plate thefts, stolen VIN records, total loss details, storm or flood damage, collision and parts damage, inspections, repairable write-offs, outstanding finance, encumbrance records, secured party details and contact information. It also includes vehicle specifications such as VIN classification, body type, make, model, year, engine number, compliance plate, number plate, expiration date and state or territory. In addition, the report indicates the status of the Takata airbag recall.

Data sources and PPSR certificate

The company states that its reports are generated from official data managed by the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) and the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System (NEVDIS). Each report includes an official Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) certificate, which constitutes a legal copy of the search performed. The site highlights that it uses secure payment methods and that the report is generated in an easy-to-read format.

Additional services

In addition to the standard vehicle check, Revs Check Report offers specific services such as Revs Check for New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, car history report, PPSR certificate, boat check and chassis check for pre-1989 vehicles. It also provides informational resources on the PPSR for businesses and individuals, the meaning of encumbrances and the written-off vehicle register (WOVR).

User reviews

The site shows customer reviews that highlight the speed of the service and the usefulness of the report for making purchase decisions. More than 245 verified reviews from Australian buyers on Trustpilot are mentioned. The company presents itself as a protection tool to avoid buying a vehicle with financial encumbrances, stolen or with hidden damage.
