About Carhistory.com.au
CarHistory.com.au is part of the Veda group. Veda is a data and information company that holds Australia's largest database of consumer and business credit records.
Through providing access to extensive data, CarHistory.com.au aims to reduce fraud and improve transparency in the sale and purchase of second hand vehicles in Australia. We want to make it easier and safer for you to buy your next used car.
Most people know they can do a REVS or VSR check to look for any finance owing on a used car. However many people are unaware that information like whether a car has been written-off, stolen, suffered flood or storm damage or whether the odometer readings are accurate can be tracked. CarHistory.com.au takes this a step further by making this information easily accessible via its online database. Just enter the VIN of the vehicle and a report will be available within seconds.
What the research says
The launch of CarHistory.com.au comes after research conducted in March 2010 found that in the past year, 5% of Australian used car buyers had (either themselves or someone in their family) been misled or deceived about their car's history during purchase.
The average loss in value or cost of unexpected repairs as a result, is $4,116 per person.
Of the people surveyed, 29% had been involved in an accident. Of those 29%, 72% had their vehicle repaired and 31% had since sold their car. Of the 31%, 53% had not disclosed their car had been involved in an accident.
The research also showed that price and the condition of the vehicle are the most important factors in the purchase decision, followed by brand and age of the vehicle. 40% of those looking for a used car will buy from any source, whether online or in used car lots – they are just looking for the best deal.
