Australia has one of the highest rates of vehicle theft in the western world. On average, one in every seventy Australian households had a vehicle stolen in the last twelve months. Almost 100,000 vehicles are stolen each year and around one-quarter will never be recovered. A large number of unrecovered vehicles end up back on the market with new identities and are sold to unsuspecting buyers. If you buy a car from a private buyer and it is later found that it was stolen, or there is money owing on it, you may lose both the vehicle and the money you paid for it. Carsafe.com.au.

To minimise your risk of buying a stolen vehicle, enter the vehicle details i.e. registration number, make, model or VIN number in the search field to display listings. If no listing is found the contact the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). On 30 January 2012 the Australian Government introduced the PPSR. The PPSR is the national service to find out if a vehicle is encumbered, written-off, stolen or registered in any state or territiry in Australia.
