The AUCN Car Report is a detailed account of a vehicle's history, designed to help consumers better understand the car they are considering purchasing or planning to buy, thereby reducing the risks associated with buying used vehicles. It's important to note that the AUCN Car Report primarily contains historical data related to the vehicle and is not a vehicle condition inspection report. As such, it does not provide information on the current condition of the vehicle, such as potential engine or transmission issues, or whether any electronic components are damaged.

The following are terms that you may be confusing when reading the AUCN Car Report which we will explain further here:

Financial interest check

If you are buying a vehicle from a private seller, be sure to negotiate with the seller to pay off the loan before the vehicle is transferred. For your peace of mind before completing the transfer please ensure that the seller has paid off the vehicle loan and ask for a proof of repayment.

Stolen status check

If your vehicle is reported as 'stolen', this can mean the car has been stolen either currently or previously in its life. For more information, contact the state or territory law enforcement listed on the PPSR certificate included in your report.

Written-off check

If a vehicle shows a record of being scrapped, it indicates that the vehicle has been involved in an accident or has sustained some form of damage. While a vehicle with such a record is not necessarily unsuitable for purchase, consumers are advised to conduct a thorough inspection to ensure its safety.

Odometer check

The odometer history of this vehicle has been provided by multiple sources within the automotive industry. However, it is possible that there may be instances of odometer rollback not included in the data we and third-party sources provide. Therefore, the odometer data should be considered for reference only. It is important to note that tampering with a vehicle's odometer is a serious offense that can result in substantial fines or imprisonment. Misleading odometer readings through technical means or other methods can also lead to penalties.

Recall record check

Recall data is sourced from the manufacturer's announcements for vehicles of the same brand, model, and year as yours. It is common for automakers to issue recalls of varying degrees each year. These recalls do not necessarily indicate that your vehicle has severe safety issues. It is sufficient for you to regularly monitor recall information for your vehicle and respond promptly.

Vehicle Valuation

Vehicle valuation data is sourced from both our proprietary platform and third-party agencies. The prices provided are for reference only and should not be solely relied upon for purchasing decisions. Each vehicle should be evaluated on its individual condition, and it is up to the consumer to make an informed judgment.
