WA rego check

Are you thinking about purchasing a second-hand car? Used vehicles will save you a lot of money in terms of the sale price, but if there's something wrong you could end up parting with a lot more money in the long run.

A WA rego check gives you information about the registration history of a vehicle. You can use this to make sure the car you're buying won't cause you any trouble down the line.

What information do you get from a WA rego check?

A WA rego check will provide you with the registration number, status and expiry date for the vehicle being searched. In addition, the check will confirm the make, model and body shape of the car, along with the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer and policy expiry.

Why is it important to get a WA rego check?

Without doing a rego check, you won't know if a car is legally safe to drive on WA roads.

Driving an unregistered car in WA is against the law. You'll face serious penalties if you're caught behind the wheel of a vehicle with expired rego.

Another risk of driving an unregistered car is you could be endangering lives. The previous owner may have deliberately not renewed their rego because they failed an inspection due to a mechanical fault with the vehicle. If this is the case, the car could be completely unroadworthy.

Finally, a rego check will tell you if the car's CTP insurance policy is valid and if so, when it expires. CTP insurance is what covers your legal liability if you get into an accident and cause injury or death to others, so it's definitely something that you want to have. It's also a legal requirement, so driving an uninsured vehicle could get you into serious legal trouble.

How do I check my WA rego?

You can get a WA rego check for free through the Department of Transport website. You'll just need to have the licence plate number of the car handy and enter it into the search box. Once that's done, you'll be able to access the vehicle's rego information immediately.

How do I access more information about a used car's history?

While a rego check gives you details regarding a car's registration history, it doesn't give you other important information, such as whether the car you're buying was stolen, written-off, or is encumbered. You also won't know if the odometer has been illegally wound back from a simple rego check.

However, if you purchase a detailed car history report, you'll have all the information you need about a vehicle at your fingertips - information that could make the difference between a great deal and a dicey one.
