Before you pay
Four checks that matter.
Imported premium vans reward careful verification. Start with the exact vehicle, then confirm its legal, financial and mechanical story before money moves.
Run the $2 PPSR search
Use the VIN or chassis number to check recorded security interests, stolen status and written-off status close to purchase.
Official PPSR ↗Inspect every expensive system
Power doors, seats, cameras, climate zones and hybrid diagnostics deserve the same attention as engine and body condition.
Open the inspection guide ↗Plan ownership before purchase
Confirm a suitable workshop, insurance path and parts strategy for the exact powertrain and specification.
Ownership planning ↗Source note: PPSR guidance recommends searching on the day of, or the day before, purchase. Import eligibility remains vehicle- and pathway-specific; verify current ROVER records separately.
