Buying a used boat, second-hand boat, or jet ski? Don’t risk getting left high and dry - if there’s still money owing, the finance company could repossess your watercraft, even after you’ve paid. Protect your investment and ride the waves with confidence!
An Instant PPSR Certificate Check (also known as REVS, VSR, VCheck, or WOVR) tells you if there’s any outstanding loan, finance, or financial claim on your boat, jet ski, or other watercraft. It’s your safety net against nasty surprises!
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is Australia’s official national system for checking if personal property - like boats, jet skis, and watercraft has any money owing or finance registered against it. PPSR replaced all the old state registers in 2012, making buying safer and easier for everyone.
Why does it matter?
AutoCheck is Australia’s trusted provider of instant online PPSR encumbrance checks for boats, jet skis, and all types of watercraft. We make it easy to protect yourself from hidden loans, outstanding finance, or repossession risk - so you can buy your boat or jet ski with total confidence.
Choose AutoCheck for your boat or jet ski PPSR certificate and enjoy smooth sailing from start to finish.
Check out sample PPSR Certificates for watercraft showing both clear and an encumbered result, so you know exactly what to look for before you buy.
Buying a clear PPSR Certificate on the day you purchase your boat, jet ski, or watercraft is your shield against repossession and your passport to peace of mind on the water.
Note: A PPSR boat search does not include identifying details such as make, model, or manufacturer, and does not confirm if the boat is stolen or written off. For theft or damage status, contact your state police or maritime authority. Outboard motors must be searched separately, and boat trailers require their own PPSR check using the trailer’s VIN.

Odometer Tampering
Extreme weather such as hail, floods, and storms can increase the risk of hidden damage in used vehicles and lead to more being classed as repairable write-offs, raising the chance of unseen issues.
Check now, avoid regret later.
Odometer tampering is a common risk in the second-hand market. A manipulated odometer can mean overpaying or facing unexpected maintenance costs.
A PPSR Certificate + Odometer Check is designed to help you detect odometer fraud and buy with greater confidence.

Financial risks aren’t always obvious when buying second-hand. If a vehicle has an outstanding debt or security interest, you could end up losing money through repossession or hidden costs.
A PPSR Certificate will reveal any financial encumbrance and other concerns, so you know your investment is secure.
Safeguard your investment.
