Give buyers peace of mind with Background Check

Background Check is designed to give buyers peace of mind when checking out your car, and it's an easy way to show you're a trustworthy seller. The best bit? It's free.

Stolen vehicle check

Checks whether or not a car has been reported stolen to the NZ Police.

Damaged import check

Checks if a car has been flagged as a damaged import by the NZTA.

Re-registered check

Checks the NZTA motor car register to see if a car has been de-registered and then registered again.

Giving access to Background Checks is all about trust - bringing more views to your listing. If you're keen to know more about this feature read the Background Check article.
