VicRoads Registration and Licensing Services chief executive Giles Thompson said he believed Victorians would now be able to make more informed decisions when buying used cars.

“Buying a second-hand vehicle can be a confusing experience for many Victorians. That’s why we’re delighted to launch the VicRoads Vehicle Report,” he said.

“VicRoads is committed to enhancing consumer confidence and safety in the second-hand vehicle market, by providing them with information to assist their decision-making when purchasing a second-hand vehicle.

“This will ensure that customers have a more holistic picture of the vehicle’s condition, value and, more importantly, safety, so that they can then compare it to similar vehicles they may be looking to buy.”

Priced at $27.65, the report can be purchased and downloaded from the VicRoads website. Used car dealers also have access to this report.

The VicRoads Vehicle Report covers a range of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, caravans, trailers and heavy vehicles.
