What may come live at our website is user generated content where users will be able to comment on certain aspects of the vehicles

    In other words, sorry -- we cannot do anything at the moment. Maybe you need to call LTSA up?

    Because the government use lab chimps doing the data entry I wouldn't trust it's accuracy 100%.

    I would say, just use it as a guide.

    You don't get the information on whether its been damaged or not unless you pay for the full report...Did you pay for the full report for all your bikes you have owned?

    It's info that's already out there and prettily easily available (we use MotoChek at work), but the bonus here it's free and the mileage info is easy to see at a glance.

    Many thanks for the link! My old CX500 looks to have been wound back 97000kms.... It sorta makes sense given what I had to work on it - although the change of ownership papers didn't reflect the indiscrepancy.

    Hmm... it says that the WOF expired more than 2 years ago in March 2006, but it's still registered?? Last registration date May 2007?? How do you get a vehicle registered without a WOF??

    Yeah it would be an awesome site if it didn't say my odometer jumped up 200,000km in a year!

    Reading - Date - Source or reason - Average usage, /day
    248,003 - 2003, January 21st - WOF inspection - 610.35
    23,393 - 2002, January 18th - WOF inspection - 4.24

    Someone please explain to me how someone could input that into a computer without thinking something was wrong with the reading

    (For the record, it's currently sitting at about 27,654)

    As Romeo quoted earlier though, they can't do diddly squat about it.
    There are 10 types of people in the world .. those who can read binary and those who can't.

    When it says "Imported Built-Up" it does not mean it was imported damaged, it means it was imported already build up with with k's on it. Basically anything not NZ new...

    I got my first bike, a Suzuki GX125, brand new from Holeshot in 2003 and it still says "Imported Built-up".

    Strange.

    My bike which is a Japanese import says Imported Built-Up, but i really dont know if it was damaged or not, im guessing it wasnt. My mates bike says Imported Built-Up as well and that was imported and defently not damaged. My old BMW was NZ new and it doesn't say anything under "Assembly Type."

    Hmmm.......
