Why it pays to invest in a VIR® vehicle history check
1 in 3 cars for sale in New Zealand have money owing, a wound odometer or are reported stolen. If you buy a car without getting a MotorWeb vehicle history check you run the risk of the car being repossessed or being worth far less than you paid for it.
The MotorWeb Vehicle Information Report ( VIR ) is NZ's leading vehicle history check. Every year we conduct nearly half-a million comprehensive vehicle history checks to protect New Zealanders from the risks of buying a vehicle privately. Within seconds you will know the important facts of the vehicle including any hidden debts, inconsistent odometer readings and if it's been reported stolen. In fact it's the most comprehensive report in NZ and includes over 70 checks, including 15 safety and security checks.
The VIR is a detailed check on the legal status and history of a vehicle in New Zealand. Vehicles include cars, trucks, boat trailers, motorcycles and caravans.
A VIR will undertake a comprehensive vehicle history check within seconds. It will accurately identify the vehicle and alert you to important information such as:
