Setting a New Standard for Vehicle History in Australia
MotorRegistry was built to close the information gap facing Australia's used car buyers - revealing the truth about a vehicle's past long before money changes hands.
The Mission
When MotorRegistry first launched in 2017, vehicle history information in Australia was limited and fragmented. Most providers simply resell the basic PPSR and NEVDIS™ records that are available to anyone, sometimes adding a market valuation alongside them.
MotorRegistry was founded on a different conviction.
Used car buyers deserve the full picture - not only whether there is finance owing or a written-off record, but a more detailed account of where a vehicle has been, how it has been used, and whether it conceals damage or problems a standard check would never surface.
What MotorRegistry Has Achieved
MotorRegistry has built Australia's most comprehensive vehicle history report - surfacing information about used vehicles that was never before available to buyers. By working with government and verified industry sources, it produces some of the most trusted and comprehensive car history checks available in Australia.
Service History
Insight into how a vehicle has been maintained and cared for over its life.
Location History
The states and regions where a vehicle has been registered over time - not just where it's being sold.
Registration History
A more detailed record of a vehicle's registration over time.
Detailed Odometer Records
More odometer readings to help spot tampering and wind-backs.
Non-Write-Off Damage Records
MotorRegistry has incorporated non-write-off damage records - damage that never appears on a standard write-off check, yet is present in around 20–25% of the reports it sells. It is precisely the kind of information that changes a buying decision and strengthens consumer protection.
Odometer Rollbacks Uncovered
Drawing on its more detailed odometer records, MotorRegistry has revealed odometer rollbacks that no other report service could have surfaced - sparing buyers from paying a premium for vehicles that had travelled far further than their dash suggested.
If Anyone Will Find an Issue, It Will Be MotorRegistry
If there is an issue to be found with a used vehicle, MotorRegistry gives buyers the best chance of finding it. By going well beyond the basic PPSR & NEVDIS™ records where other providers stop - and combining official government data with a growing range of verified industry sources - MotorRegistry surfaces issues that other reports miss.
That work does not stand still. As new sources become available and new data partnerships are formed, MotorRegistry continues to expand what its reports reveal.
Built by Car Enthusiasts, Powered by Technology
MotorRegistry was founded by car enthusiasts with a background in technology. That pairing - a genuine passion for cars and the technical expertise to handle complex data at scale - is what allowed the company to build something the industry had not achieved before.
Proudly Australian owned and based, MotorRegistry operates from Collingwood, Melbourne, with team members in Sydney and Brisbane. That focus on the customer shows in its average 4.8-star Google rating, where buyers consistently praise the depth of its reports and the quality of its after-sales service.
MotorRegistry Intelligence
The same ambition drives MotorRegistry Intelligence - the company's work to address the data asymmetry that has long shaped the Australian used car market, where sellers and large operators have understood far more about a vehicle than the everyday buyer.
By unifying official records with the broader dataset it has assembled, MotorRegistry Intelligence is developing business solutions that give dealers, insurers, financiers and other partners a clearer, fairer view of the vehicles they work with - levelling the playing field across the market, not only for individual buyers.
The future of buying a used car in Australia
MotorRegistry has already built the most comprehensive vehicle history report in the country. What changes next is habit: the company believes it will soon be second nature for Australians to buy a MotorRegistry report before any used vehicle purchase - the natural first step, rather than settling for a basic PPSR search (still often called a REVS check).
