REVs check FAQs
Clear answers before you check.
Is a REVs check the same as a PPSR check?
REVs is the older term many Australians still use. The state REVs registers have been replaced by the national Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). AUCN runs the relevant VIN-based PPSR search and includes the official certificate in your vehicle report.
Can I start with a number plate instead of a VIN?
Yes. Enter the registration number and state to start, or switch to VIN if you have it. The vehicle lookup helps identify the car before the PPSR search is run against its VIN. Check that the vehicle details match the car you intend to buy.
How much does an AUCN report cost?
The final report price is shown after your vehicle is identified, before you pay. An AUCN report is a one-off purchase. Starting a vehicle lookup does not purchase a report.
Does a REVs check show every accident?
No. It can show recorded write-offs and stolen status, but it is not a complete record of accidents, repairs or insurance claims. A clear result does not confirm mechanical condition. Review service records and consider an independent inspection.
How will I receive my report?
After successful payment and report generation, your report link is delivered by email. You can read the report online and access the included PPSR certificate. Available history and valuation sections depend on the vehicle and the records returned.
Is AUCN a government website?
AUCN is an independent commercial vehicle report provider operated by Australian Car Network Pty Ltd. It is not the Australian Government PPSR website. AUCN combines an official PPSR certificate with available vehicle information and an easy-to-read report.
The REVs check you know. The national search used today.
REVs is the familiar name for checking whether a used vehicle has registered finance owing. The old state registers have been replaced by the national Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). Your AUCN report includes an official PPSR certificate and explains the results in plain English.
AUCN is an independent commercial provider operated by Australian Car Network Pty Ltd, not a government website. For a standalone government search, visit ppsr.gov.au.
