Make a more confident choice when buying a second-hand vehicle

1 November 2025

VicRoads is helping you take some of the stress out of buying a second-hand vehicle.

The VicRoads Vehicle Report gives you the facts you need to make an informed decision about price, safety and history.

Why purchase a Vehicle Report?

While it's not compulsory, the Vehicle Report gives you an overview of the vehicle's history, value and – most importantly – safety. It equips you with the information you need to compare the vehicle to similar options and make a confident decision.

What you’ll get in your Vehicle Report

  • Roadworthy history
  • Registration and transfer history
  • Recorded odometer readings
  • Financial liability check, including an official Personal Property Security Register (PPSR) certificate
  • Safety and emission ratings
  • Stolen and written-off status
  • A handy comparison tool showing recent sale prices for similar vehicles

New price from 1 November 2025

The Vehicle Report costs $29.95 (including GST) plus a $0.14 credit card fee. You can buy and download your report instantly from the VicRoads website. Reports are available for cars, motorcycles, caravans, trailers and heavy vehicles.
