Personal property refers to any property that isn’t land, buildings, or fixtures. It includes items like:
A PPSR search can reveal if there’s a security interest or encumbrance (such as finance owing) on the property. This protects you from potentially losing the item if a financier repossesses it due to unpaid debt.
To confirm it’s truly unencumbered (i.e., no finance owing):
Sometimes dealers or suppliers use floor plan finance (stock loans). This means the car might still be under a finance agreement even if it hasn’t been driven yet. It’s usually paid out when the dealer sells it — but delays or admin errors can happen.
To confirm it hasn’t been previously registered or demoed:
Some cars sold as “new” might’ve been used as demos or even registered briefly. A PPSR check will reveal any prior registration, indicating it’s not technically brand new.
To protect against fraud or error in transfer:
Rare but possible — for example, if the car was stolen from a yard and resold by someone impersonating a dealer. A PPSR check ensures the VIN is clean and not listed as stolen, written-off, or encumbered.
What is a serial number in a PPSR search?
A serial number is a unique identifier used to search for financial interests recorded against an item. On the PPSR, it’s how we match your asset to any possible debt or encumbrance.
What types of serial numbers can I use?
You can search using the following types of serial numbers, depending on the asset:
How do I know which number to use?
It depends on the type of asset:
If you’re unsure, check your registration documents or the asset itself for a clearly labeled number.
What if I don’t have a serial number?
Without a serial number (or rego for motor vehicles), we can’t perform a PPSR search. You’ll need to locate one on the asset or from documentation like a rego certificate, invoice, or compliance plate.
Where can I find the serial number on my asset?
Here are some common places:
What’s the difference between a serial number and a registration number?
A serial number is a manufacturer-issued unique ID – it stays with the asset for life.
A registration number is the plate number issued by the state or territory (e.g., ABC123). It’s helpful for vehicle searches but can change over time.
