Hi guys,
Just wondering if there is a way to do a revs check for a vehicle made in 1974? When I enter the VIN number on the qld department of transport site it says it is unable to process as the number is less than 18 digits long. I know that in 1981 (or around then) the system changed so does this affect me? Cheers, Nathan |

Probably best to go into a actual DoT branch or ring them up if the online system isnt working for you.

Yeah first i went to the department of transport, then they gave me the online link as they dont do it in person. Then once that wasnt working I rang them and they told me I had to find another number other than the VIN? is there another number than the Vin on a 74 XB???

I've done QLD revs checks on older cars before... is the VIN you're using something like JG27ST12345K?

It was only really in the late 80's that vehicles got a modern day style VIN and it was actually recorded. When I checked out my old cars best I could do was use the rego number,

Unfortunately it isnt registered which is why I'm doing the check. Might give them another call tomorrow.

Ford used to use SIDO numbers that were recycled after a few years or so,
maybe that's why the system doesn't like the older numbers. |
