Car Facts offers purchasers of second-hand vehicles a quick and easy way to obtain important information about those vehicles prior to purchase.

  • Do the VIN, engine number and registration details all match this vehicle?
  • Has this vehicle ever been reported stolen or written off?
  • Is there money owing on this vehicle?

carsales.com.au Car Facts, in conjunction with Queensland Transport, provides a range of products to help you answer all the questions you have about the vehicle you intend to buy.

Car Facts is available for cars that have a VIN and were manufactured after January 1989. Each certificate is accompanied by a glossary of terms to help you understand all the information you have been given. Please note that certificates are available for all states with the exception of Tasmania and Car Facts History Certificates are available for Queensland-registered vehicles only.*

The first step in purchasing a Car Facts certificate is verifying the VIN of the vehicle. This service gives you details of the vehicle matching that VIN, such as make, model , rego and colour, thereby reducing on the chance of submitting an incorrect VIN.
