FAQs
The Vehicle Information Report
No, there may be information that is not publicly or electronically available. The VIR® is unlikely to be able to show:
- any history of the vehicle while it was outside of New Zealand
- any history of the vehicle prior to 1994/95
- details of import damage if the vehicle has not been previously registered in NZ
- accident, damage and repair history of the vehicle
- all past odometer readings
- the registered owner's name if it is a private person
- if the vehicle is stolen and has not been reported as stolen or if the police database link is down
No, the VIR® contains all odometer readings currently available from the NZTA, and analyses these for any inconsistent readings.
However, some older vehicles have not had all their odometer readings recorded by the NZTA. The VIR® will identify if NZTA deemed the odometer to have been tampered with but cannot directly determine if a vehicle's odometer was wound back prior to arriving in New Zealand. The VIR® does everything it can to identify problems - but it cannot guarantee that the vehicle's odometer has not been wound.The information is sourced from several government and private sector organisations, then collated and analysed.
- PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register)
- NZTA (New Zealand Transport Agency)
- NZ Police
- MotorWeb's own private database
The information is sourced from several third party organisations in real time when you purchase a VIR®.
To the best of our knowledge, the information is correct at the time the VIR® is generated.
Please note:
- The information is only as accurate and up-to-date as what is held in the government databases.
- The information should only be considered valid at the time the VIR® was generated. Anything can happen after that.
Trade Me Motors lists and sells over hundreds of cars every month. Motorweb analyses and aggregates this data, to get an average price for the vehicle you’re looking at. Because of the volume of vehicles sold through Trade Me Motors, we’re able to be confident the valuation you’ll get is a good reflection of what the market will pay for that vehicle today. It’s worth noting that these valuations are not best suited for vintage or specialty cars where sales aren’t as common (as it’s an aggregated result), or if the vehicle hasn’t yet been registered in NZ.
The VIR® is the most comprehensive vehicle history check on the market and the only vehicle check that includes real time, live market data. We’re also the only ones to offer a $100,000 Repossession Guarantee.
No, VIRs are only valid at the time of issue.
Reports accessed through a reference number may be out of date due to subsequent changes made in the government databases. Think of it as a snapshot of the vehicle at the time of issue.

Explanation of alerts and cautions
1. Security interest found (money owing)
A person or company has registered a security against the vehicle indicating they have a financial interest in the vehicle. These parties are shown on the VIR® as ‘secured parties’.
Should the money owed to the secured parties not be repaid, then the secured parties can legally repossess and sell the vehicle to recover the money.
Reasons for the security could include:
- The vehicle was purchased using finance or a loan.
- The vehicle may have been used as collateral for other purposes.
- The vehicle has an outstanding repair bill.
- This is an old security interest that has not yet been removed from the registry.
It is important to match the details of the security (for example the, vehicle make, model, year, plate and VIN) with the vehicle description on the VIR®, and against the vehicle physically.
It is common for the VIN to differ by one or two digits because these long numbers are often mistyped.
Our recommendation
If a vehicle you are interested in purchasing has money owing on it (a registered security), arrange with the seller a way to ensure this is removed prior to making payment.
The finance company listed in the security will only discuss the details of the security with the vehicle owner (the debtor).
Once the owner says that the security has been removed, you should generate a new VIR® to confirm the vehicle has clear title. This is a quick, easy and thorough way to be certain.
If the seller is reliant on your payment to repay the loan to the finance company you could arrange to pay the finance company directly yourself (do not rely on the seller to do this), and pay the remaining amount to the seller.
2. Someone has issued a repossession order against this vehicle
An interested party has obtained a court order to have the vehicle repossessed.
The interested party may then hold the vehicle or sell the vehicle.
The vehicle is likely to have a security registered against it by a secured party.
The repossession order is likely the result of a loan not being paid on time.
It is advisable to contact the interested party discretely without alerting the vehicle owner.
This will allow the authorities to be contacted to recover the vehicle.
Our recommendation
Under no circumstances should you purchase this vehicle until the exact details of the repossession have been explained by the interested party shown in the alert message.
3. The number plate was not on the vehicle at the time the security was recorded
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using the number plate, chassis or VIN.
The number plate recorded by the secured party was not on the vehicle at the time it was recorded.
The most likely cause for this alert is that the number plate was incorrectly entered by the secured party, therefore the security shown might not apply to this vehicle.
Compare the vehicle description, chassis number and VIN shown in the security to see if it matches the vehicle in question. If these match, then the registered security is most likely valid. In any event, you should contact the secured party for advice.
4. Number plate of the security does not match any known plates of the vehicle
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using the number plate, chassis or VIN.
The plate recorded by the security party does not match the present plate (or past plates, if any) assigned to this vehicle.
The most likely cause for this alert is that the plate was incorrectly entered by the secured party; therefore the security shown might not apply to this vehicle.
Compare the vehicle description, chassis number and VIN shown in the security to see if it matches the vehicle in question. If these match, then the registered security is most likely valid. In any event, you should contact the secured party for advice.
5. VIN of security does not match VIN of the vehicle
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using the number plate, chassis or VIN.
The VIN recorded by the secured party is different from the VIN recorded against the vehicle by the NZTA.
This can happen since the VIN is a long and confusing number that is easily misread and mistyped.
The most likely causes for this alert are:
- VIN was incorrectly recorded by the NZTA or the secured party
- The vehicle’s chassis number was used in error by the NZTA or the secured party instead of the VIN. This sometimes happens for vehicles older than 1995 because VINs were not allocated to vehicles before this date.
Therefore, the security shown might not apply to this vehicle.
Our recommendations
Check the VIN on the vehicle to get the correct number.
VINs are 17 characters long, whereas chassis numbers vary in length.
The VIN is usually located on a metal plate in the engine compartment and is sometimes etched into the vehicle’s windows.
If the VIN on the vehicle does not match the VIN shown in the registered security, contact the secured party for advice.
If the VIN on the vehicle does not match the VIN shown on the report, contact the NZTA and request that they update their records.
6. Chassis number of security does not match the chassis number of the vehicle searched
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using number plate, chassis or VIN.
The chassis number recorded by the secured party is significantly different from the chassis number recorded against the vehicle by the NZTA.
This can happen since the chassis number is a long and confusing number that is easily misread and mistyped.
The most likely causes for this alert are:
- Chassis number was incorrectly recorded by the NZTA or the secured party.
- The vehicle’s VIN was used in error by the NZTA or the secured party instead of the chassis number.
Therefore, the security shown might not apply to this vehicle.
Our recommendations
Check the chassis number on the vehicle to get the correct number. The chassis number is usually located on a metal plate in the engine compartment or stamped into the vehicle body. You can call the vehicle manufacturer for the exact location.
If the chassis number on the vehicle does not match the chassis number shown in the registered security, contact the secured party for advice.
If the chassis number on the vehicle does not match the chassis number shown on the report, contact the NZTA and request that they update their records.
7. Chassis number of registered security partially matches chassis number of the vehicle searched
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using plate, chassis or VIN.
The chassis number shown in the security is only a portion of the chassis number recorded by the NZTA. Often only a portion of the chassis number is used by a secured party.
This is not unusual or serious; contact the secured party for advice.
8. Make of registered security does not match the vehicle
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using the number plate, chassis or VIN.
The vehicle make recorded by the secured party is significantly different from the vehicle searched for.
The security shown may not apply to this vehicle. You will need to contact the secured party for advice.
9. Model of registered security does not match the vehicle searched
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using the number plate, chassis or VIN.
The vehicle model recorded by the secured party is significantly different from the vehicle searched for.
The security shown may not apply to this vehicle. Please contact the secured party for advice.
10. Year-of-manufacture of registered security does not match the vehicle
This vehicle has a security registered against it. Securities are matched to vehicles using the number plate, chassis or VIN.
If the year of manufacture recorded by the secured party is significantly different from the vehicle searched for the security may not apply to the vehicle. Contact the secured party for advice.
Vehicle is reported stolen
Our recommendation
You need to contact the Police directly and verify the vehicle’s status. Call 105 or use 105.police.govt.nz.
1. Inconsistent odometer readings – possibly around-the-clock, wound-back or human error
The vehicle’s odometer readings appear to go backwards (a later odometer reading is lower than a previous odometer reading).
Some possibilities for this could include:
- The odometer has gone ‘around-the-clock’ and reset back to zero.
- The odometer may have been tampered with and manually wound-back by someone trying to misrepresent the vehicle.
- The odometer has been replaced due to a mechanical fault.
- An odometer reading has been incorrectly entered into government records eg. during a WOF inspection.
Our recommendations
If you suspect the odometer reading has been incorrectly recorded you need to provide proof i.e., the last WOF test sheet.
Or, if you think the odometer has been tampered with, we suggest you get an independent mechanical inspection from your nearest VTNZ or from your local mechanic – head to My Auto Shop to get in touch with one.
2. Odometer is known to be unreliable
The NZTA or one of their agents, has physically inspected the vehicle’s odometer and found that it has been tampered with.
Our recommendation
We recommend that you (the buyer) obtain an independent mechanical inspection before purchasing the vehicle. Get one from your nearest VTNZ or your local mechanic – head to My Auto Shop to get in touch with one.
1. Vehicle has previously been de-registered
The vehicle has been de-registered in the past and then registered again.
The vehicle may have been in an accident and written off by an insurance company, or the vehicle’s registration may have expired because the licence was not kept current.
Passenger vehicles can only remain unlicensed for 12 months, or 24 months if currently owned by a vehicle trader. Non-passenger vehicles (trailers, ATVs, etc.) can remain unlicensed for 24 months.
The owner at the time may have asked that the licence and registration be cancelled because the vehicle would not be used for some time (for example while overseas).
Our recommendations
Try to contact the person who owned the vehicle just prior to the date of de-registration, for more information.
2. Vehicle is de-registered
The vehicle may have been in an accident and written off by an insurance company, or the vehicle’s registration may have expired because the licence was not kept current.
If the vehicle is unlicensed for over 12 months it will be de-registered.
Our recommendations
Speak to the current owner or the person who owned the vehicle just prior to the date of de-registration, for more information.
3. Registration has been cancelled
This vehicle’s registration has been cancelled by the vehicle owner, and is no longer allowed on the road.
There are a number of possible reasons for this, such as the vehicle:
- has been destroyed or rendered permanently useless
- was written-off by an insurance company due to major damage
- is being permanently removed from New Zealand roads (for example sold for parts)
- was not going to be used on the road for a reasonably long period of time (for example being restored, owner going overseas, etc.)
Our recommendations
If you wish to purchase this vehicle for use upon New Zealand roads, you will need to have the vehicle re-registered (new plates assigned), obtain a current WOF or COF, possibly have a VIN assigned, and purchase a current vehicle licence.
As part of the re-registration process, the vehicle will undergo a thorough safety inspection for frame damage etc.
You may also be responsible for paying overdue/unpaid licence or RUC fees if applicable to this vehicle.
4. Registration has lapsed
The vehicle’s registration has been cancelled by the NZTA – not by the vehicle owner.
Passenger vehicles can only remain unlicensed for 12 months, or 24 months if currently owned by a vehicle trader. Non-passenger vehicles (trailers, ATVs, etc) can remain unlicensed for 24 months.
Our recommendations
If you wish to purchase this vehicle for use on New Zealand roads, you will need to have the vehicle re-registered (new plates assigned), obtain a current WOF or COF, possibly have a VIN assigned, and purchase a current vehicle licence.
As part of the re-registration process, the vehicle will undergo a thorough safety inspection for frame damage etc. This inspection costs approximately $450.
You may also be responsible for paying overdue/unpaid licence or RUC fees if there are any outstanding.
5. Registration will lapse, unless re-licensed.
This vehicle does not have a current licence and the NZTA will cancel the vehicle’s registration if the vehicle is not re-licensed by the specified date.
Passenger vehicles can only remain unlicensed for 12 months, or 24 months if currently owned by a vehicle trader. Non-passenger vehicles (trailers, ATVs, etc) can remain unlicensed for 24 months.
Our recommendations
It can be costly to re-register a vehicle, so if you are looking to buy this vehicle make sure the owner has it re-licensed before the indicated date. You should also inquire why the vehicle is currently un-licensed.
If you need to have the vehicle re-registered (new plates assigned) you will have to obtain a current WOF or COF, possibly have a VIN assigned, and purchase a current vehicle licence.
As part of the re-registration process, the vehicle will undergo a thorough safety inspection for frame damage etc. This inspection costs approximately $450
6. Vehicle has never been registered
The vehicle has been through the pre-registration process but has not yet been registered (i.e. had a plate number assigned). The vehicle is new from the factory, or has recently been imported into the country.
It is also possible that the NZTA does not have full registration details if the vehicle was registered before 1995.
The vehicle cannot be used on the road until it has been registered, licensed and had a safety inspection.
7. Cannot check if the vehicle is a damaged import as it has never been registered
Damaged import information can only be checked by registration plate and this vehicle has never had a registration plate.
8. Vehicle has exemption licence
The owner has asked that the vehicle’s licence (registration sticker) be ‘put on hold’ for a period of time so that it will not expire.
This is usually done if the vehicle is not going to be driven on the road for some time (for example: the owner will be overseas on a long holiday, the vehicle requires major repairs, or the vehicle is just not required).
The vehicle cannot be driven on the road while it has an exemption licence.
The exemption licence will be changed back to a regular licence if the owner contacts the NZTA, or when the exemption licence expiry date is reached.
9.Licence (registration sticker) expired on…
A vehicle must have a licence to legally be driven on the road. Licences can be purchased for a period of 3 to 12 months.
When this period passes, the licence has expired and must be renewed if the vehicle is to be used on a public road.
Most vehicles need to be continuously licensed (there are some exceptions) and must have a valid WOF or COF to be relicensed. This means that if the licence expired say 2 months ago, this 2 month period must still be paid for. You cannot save licensing fees by delaying your licence renewal.
The current owner (vehicle seller) is responsible for paying all licence fees that are due up until the date that the change of ownership officially takes place. The new owner (vehicle buyer) is only responsible for licence fees incurred after this point.
10. Current number plate differs from searched number plate
The searched number plate was previously registered to the vehicle, but should no longer be attached to it.
The VIR® will automatically check the number plate that is currently registered to the vehicle.
If the incorrect number plate is attached to the vehicle, you should ask the current owner why.
Keep in mind that it’s possible the current vehicle owner is trying to hide the true status of the vehicle.
11. No licence found
The vehicle does not have a licence (registration sticker). This vehicle will require a new licence before it can be legally driven on the road.
1. Warrant of Fitness (WOF) expired on…
The WOF is a vehicle inspection checks that minimum safety standards are met, and indicates that the vehicle is roadworthy. Without a current WOF certificate, this vehicle cannot legally be on the road.
- For vehicles that have never been registered, WOFs are issued for a three year period.
- For vehicles less than two years old, WOFs are issued until the third anniversary of when the vehicle was first registered.
- For vehicles newer than 1 January 2000, WOFs are issued for a 12 month period.
- For vehicles older than 1 January 2000, WOFs are issued for a 6 month period.
Our recommendation
We suggest you have a WOF inspection before you purchase the vehicle as it may reveal faults that are costly to fix.
If the vehicle does not pass its initial inspection, you have 28 days to rectify faults and have the vehicle rechecked by the same inspection station at no extra charge.
2. Warrant of Fitness (WOF) will expire on…
This is an advisory message simply telling you that this vehicle’s WOF will expire in the near future.
The WOF is a vehicle inspection that checks minimum safety standards are met, and indicates that the vehicle is roadworthy.
- Without a current WOF certificate, this vehicle cannot legally be on the road
- For vehicles more than five years old, WOFs issued for a 6-month period.
- For vehicles newer than five years, WOFs are issued for a 12-month period.
Our recommendation
Unless the WOF was issued in the last month, we suggest you have a WOF inspection before you purchase the vehicle as it may reveal faults that are costly to fix.
If the vehicle does not pass its initial inspection, you have 28 days to rectify faults and have the vehicle rechecked by the same inspection station at no extra charge.
3. Warrant of Fitness (WOF) has not been issued
This vehicle requires a WOF before it can legally be on the road and this vehicle has never had one.
The vehicle could be a brand new vehicle or a recent import.
Our recommendation
We suggest you have a WOF inspection before you purchase the vehicle as it may reveal faults that are costly to fix.
If the vehicle does not pass its initial inspection, you have 28 days to rectify faults and have the vehicle rechecked by the same inspection station at no extra charge.
4. The vehicle did not pass its last Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection
The vehicle failed its last WOF inspection and it is legally not permitted to be used on the road.
A vehicle can fail a WOF inspection for many reasons that could require minor or serious repairs to fix.
Our recommendation
If you decide to purchase the vehicle without a current WOF ask to see the most recent WOF inspection checklist to see exactly why the vehicle failed its inspection.
The checklist is always given to the vehicle owner.
1. Certificate of Fitness (COF) expired on …
The COF is a vehicle inspection that checks minimum safety standards are met, and the vehicle is roadworthy.
Without a current COF, this vehicle cannot legally be on the road.
A COF applies to commercial vehicles (for example, taxi, rentals, passenger buses, delivery vans and tow trucks), or any vehicle with a gross laden weight of 3,500 kg or more.
COFs are issued for a 6-month period.
Our recommendation
If you decide to purchase the vehicle without a current COF ask to see the most recent COF inspection checklist to see exactly why the vehicle failed its inspection.
The checklist is always given to the vehicle owner.
2. Certificate of Fitness (COF) will expire on …
This is an advisory message telling you that this vehicle’s COF will expire in the near future.
Commercial vehicles, and those with a gross laden weight of 3,500 kg or more, must have a current COF to legally be on the road.
These certificates are issued for a 6-month period.
3. Certificate of Fitness (COF) has not been issued
This vehicle requires a COF before it can legally be on the road; however there is no record of an inspection ever having been performed on this vehicle.
The vehicle is either a brand new vehicle, a recent import or is never used on a public road (for example a farm vehicle).
If you want to buy the vehicle and drive it legally on the road you must have a COF inspection done.
This can be done at any number of COF inspection stations across New Zealand (for example VTNZ).
4. The vehicle did not pass its last Certificate of Fitness (COF) inspection
The vehicle failed its last COF inspection and it is legally unfit for use on the road.
A vehicle can fail a COF inspection for many reasons that, could require either minor or serious repairs to fix.
Our recommendation
We strongly recommend you obtain the new COF before buying this vehicle.
This can be done at any number of COF inspection stations across New Zealand (for example VTNZ).
If the problems are fixed within 28 days of the last COF inspection, you can have the vehicle re-inspected by the same COF agent at no extra charge.
If you decide to purchase the vehicle without a current COF, ask to see the most recent COF inspection checklist to find out exactly why the vehicle failed its inspection. The checklist is always given to the vehicle owner.
1. Check current odometer/hubometer reading does not exceed RUC
This vehicle requires a valid Road User Charges (RUC) licence to legally be on the road. A RUC licence is paid for in advance and expires after a certain mileage is reached.
Because we do not know the vehicle’s current odometer reading, you need to check that the odometer reading does not exceed the end distance of the RUC licence. If it does, then there are unpaid RUC fees that you will be liable to pay if you buy the vehicle.
Sometimes the RUC distance is recorded from the vehicle’s hubometer (on the axle), whereas the odometer readings are taken from the odometer in the dashboard. This can result in the RUC distance appearing to be exceeded when it has not.
Our recommendation
Check to see if the odometer or hubometer exceeds the RUC. If it does, then factor unpaid RUC fees into the sale price.
An RUC can be purchased online or at an RUC Agent either by distance (in units of 1,000 km) or by date.
2. Road User Charges (RUC) has not been issued
This vehicle requires a RUC to legally be on the road, however there is no record of a RUC ever having been issued for this vehicle.
The vehicle is either a brand new vehicle, a recent import or is never used on a public road (for example a farm vehicle).
If you want to buy the vehicle and drive it legally on the road you must have a RUC issued.
It is recommended that the current owner (vehicle seller) supply a current RUC for you.
If the vehicle is not diesel powered or is more than 3,500 kg, contact the NZTA for further advice.
An RUC can be purchased online or at an RUC Agent either by distance (in units of 1,000 km) or by date.
3. Road User Charges (RUC) expired on…
This is an advisory message telling you that this vehicle has a time-based RUC which will expire in the near future.
This vehicle requires a valid RUC to legally be on the road.
An RUC can be purchased online or at an RUC Agent either by distance (in units of 1,000 km) or by date.
4. Road User Charges (RUC) will expire on…
This vehicle requires a valid RUC to legally be on the road. RUCs can be purchased by distance (in units of 1,000 km) or by date.
The cost of a RUC varies depending upon the type of vehicle, weight and intended load.
Our recommendation
Contact any NZTA agent (for example VTNZ or NZ Post) to determine the outstanding amount.
An RUC can be purchased online or at an RUC Agent either by distance (in units of 1,000 km) or by date.
1. Imported as a damaged vehicle
This alert means the vehicle was imported into New Zealand with obvious damage or deterioration. This alert will not appear if the vehicle simply had dents to some of its body panels, the vehicle must be significantly damaged.
We recommend that you have the vehicle inspected to ensure the damage is not going to affect the safety and operation of the vehicle (eg. wheel alignment and steering).
2. Possibly water or fire damaged import
This vehicle has been identified by the NZTA border check as likely to have been damaged by water or fire.
The NZTA strongly advises buyers to have these vehicles thoroughly checked by an independent vehicle inspector prior to purchase.
Components like seat belts, seat belt pre-tensioners, airbags and certain electrical systems including associated wiring are likely to need replacing in order to bring these vehicles to a safe standard as required by New Zealand law.
You may even need to get this vehicle certified before it can be registered.
1. Why don’t I get the name and address details for the current and previous owners?
The following restrictions apply to confirming ownership details:
- VIRs still show the total number of owners
- Current and past private ownership details are suppressed.
- Full name and address details are still shown for companies who have owned the vehicle.
- Where the current owner is a private individual, you can confirm the person’s first and last name. To do this, simply click on the ‘Click to verify’ link within the VIR® report.
- You cannot confirm past or joint owners or the current registered person for unregistered vehicles.
2. Current owner of this vehicle is not yet known to the NZTA
Both MR-13A and MR-13B forms are required to complete the change of ownership transaction.
In this case the previous owner has completed the MR-13A form advising that they have sold the vehicle to another party. However, the current owner has not completed an MR-13B form to agree to accept ownership and liability for the vehicle. This means the current vehicle owner is not yet officially known, and the previous owner is still technically responsible for the vehicle’s parking tickets, fines, etc.
Our recommendation
We suggest that both you (the new buyer) and the current owner (seller) visit an NZTA agent (for example VTNZ or NZ Post) and complete the change of ownership procedure. Having the seller present is not a legal requirement.
3. Identity of current owner has not been confirmed
The current owner has completed the required MR-13B form indicating that they have taken responsibility for the vehicle.
However, they have not presented suitable identification to an NZTA agent (for example driver’s licence or passport) to prove who they are.
Our recommendation
We suggest that both the seller and the new owner visit an NZTA agent (for example VTNZ or NZ Post) and complete the change of ownership procedure.
4. Vehicle’s ownership has recently changed
The current registered owner has owned the vehicle for only a short period of time.
If they are not a registered motor vehicle trader then you should question why they are selling the vehicle so soon after purchasing it.
There could be mechanical or legal issues that you need to be aware of.
Our recommendation
- Have an independent mechanical inspection from VTNZ to check for mechanical faults.
- Establish proof of ownership.
- When there is a change of ownership, the NZTA automatically advise the seller of the change in ownership to ensure it was authorised. This process can take several weeks and it’s possible that the previous owner has not yet been made aware of the change, and therefore hasn’t had a chance to dispute the change of ownership, or worse, report the vehicle stolen.
- We recommend that you obtain an independent mechanical inspection to check for mechanical faults. Get one from your nearest VTNZ or your local mechanic – head to My Auto Shop to get in touch with one.
