Why Choose Motorweb
The top 6 reasons why Motorweb are NZ's leading vehicle history check

MotorWeb's VIR® is NZ's leading vehicle history check. Every year Motorweb conduct nearly half a million pre-purchase vehicle history checks to protect New Zealanders from the risks of buying a vehicle privately.

1. The MotorWeb VIR is backed by a Repossession Guarantee.

MotorWeb the only company in NZ that has a Repossession Guarantee

Should your vehicle be repossessed because it had a registered security (money owing), or is seized because it was flagged as stolen or of interest to the Police, and that information was available to us at the time but was not displayed on the VIR, Motorweb will compensate you up to $100,000, providing you meet the Terms and Conditions.

2. MotorWeb's Past Plate Check™ uncovers hidden debts

MotorWeb's comprehensive Past Plate Check™ uncovers hidden debts on all past plates associated with the vehicle's history. Others don't!

MotorWeb's Past Plate Check™ is one of the most important pre-purchase checks, ensuring there's no money owing on the vehicle. Finance companies typically register outstanding money against the vehicle's registration plate. However, if the registration plates are changed, the vehicle may appear debt-free when it is not. MotorWeb's Past Plate Check™ protects you from hidden debts by checking for money owing on all previous registration plates.

3. NZ's most Comprehensive Report - including safety and security checks

The MotorWeb VIR includes over 70 vehicle history checks(the actual number of checks is determined by what is applicable to each vehicle).

MotorWeb are the only company in NZ that reports on important safety and security features (when available) including:

  • ABS
  • Brake assist
  • Electronic brake force distribution
  • Airbags - front, rear and side
  • Automatic stability control
  • Traction control
