A REVs search is important for people buying a used car. It means you can make an informed purchase decision and not take on someone else’s debt.
The Register of Encumbered Vehicles (REVs) can tell you if a used car has any debt or carries an old loan. It’s similar to a PPSR check because it tells you who has financial interest in a vehicle. A REVs search checks government systems, so it's secure and easy to use.
Checking the REVs is really simple and takes less than a minute. All you need to do is enter the VIN or rego of the car and the state it's registered in. You also need to pay to download the report. Instead of a basic REVs check, you can download a full car history report to learn everything you should know about the vehicle.
If you owe money on an item, that’s encumbrance. In the case of a used car, it’s encumbered if the owner has an outstanding loan to pay on it. Buyers of used cars should always ensure the vehicle is not encumbered before they buy it.
The best way to check REVs for a used car is to get a comprehensive car history report. Carify provides the best, most reliable vehicle history checks in Australia, with everything from PPSR and REVs to market valuations and stolen vehicle checks.
There are several options for checking the finance on a vehicle, including free rego checks from the state you live in. However, this option may not give you all the information you need to make an intelligent purchase.
