Example report
This is what you get before you buy a car
Every section below is the real report, rendered by the same code a paying customer sees — for a made-up car, so you can read all of it. The example car has money owing recorded against it, which is exactly the kind of thing that costs a buyer the whole purchase price. The known faults are our real catalogue for this model. What the report is one half of — and what the guided inspection adds — is on what a full check includes.

Money is owed on this vehicle
A security interest is registered on the PPSR. If you pay the seller without this being cleared, the financier can legally repossess the car. You could lose both the car and your money.
What to do next
- 1Do not pay or take delivery until the finance is cleared.
- 2Ask the seller for a letter from their financier confirming the debt is settled and the security interest released.
- 3Re-check this plate with KickTyres just before you pay, a fresh report confirms whether the money owing has actually cleared (a release can lapse).
- 4If paying it off is part of the deal, pay the financier directly (not the seller) and get written confirmation of release.
