Background check

  • Results are retrieved from the national database.
  • Background checks can't be edited or removed.
  • If the details have changed recently (e.g. a security interest has been removed) – get in touch below and we can refresh the results.

 

If you think the background check results are incorrect:

  • Contact any past lenders to check they've removed their security interest from the register.
  • Contact Waka Kotahi.

Car details

To update your car listing, open the listing from Items I'm selling, then select Edit. Make your changes and update the listing.

  • Our system can pull some vehicle info from the national database.
  • Database info may not always be accurate, or current – be sure to double-check the details.
  • WoF and rego expiry won't update automatically.
  • If your make or model isn't available, select Other. The make and model can be entered into 'Model detail'.

 

Note: Auctions can't be edited once bids have been placed.

Category

Car listings can't be changed to another category. Create a new listing in the correct category – then get in touch below, and we'll refund your old listing fee.
