Everything you get for NZ$15.90
What NZ$15.90 buys a New Zealand buyer — and when it is the wrong purchase
Prices are shown and charged in New Zealand dollars. Below is a plain account of what that money is worth in this specific market, including the cases where you should not spend it.
A single full report is NZ$15.90, charged once, with no subscription and no account to cancel later. The free VIN decode runs before you pay, and it is deliberately informative enough to be useful on its own: make, model year, engine, body style, plant of origin and any open safety recall campaign. If the free decode already answers your question, that is a good outcome and you should keep your money.
The paid report is worth the most on an imported car that carries a manufacturer VIN — a Japanese, German, British or Korean-built car whose original seventeen characters are intact. For those, the report adds the full factory build, recall campaigns that follow the car across borders, the known failure patterns owners of that model actually report, a stolen-vehicle check, and market-value context from advertised stock. That is the case where a New Zealand buyer is otherwise flying blind, because the local record only begins at compliance.
It is worth the least — and we would rather say so than take the sale quietly — on a car whose VIN was assigned in New Zealand rather than by the manufacturer. Those VINs begin with 7A, and they carry no factory descriptor for a decoder to read. You will still get the recall and theft checks and the model-level reliability picture, but you will not get a build decode, because there is nothing in the number to decode. If that is your car, find the original chassis plate first; it is free, and it is worth more than any report.
Payment is by card, and by the wallet methods your device offers. There is no upsell path, no auto-renewal, and no separate charge to download the PDF — the report and its PDF are the same purchase. Bundle pricing is not offered in New Zealand dollars, so the single report is the only thing on sale here, at one honest price.
One last piece of advice against our own interest: a report is not a pre-purchase inspection. On an imported car with an unverifiable overseas history, a physical inspection by a qualified mechanic will find things no database holds. If you can only afford one of the two, buy the inspection.
