    Motorists of New Zealand are under threat

    From Jan 2011 onwards the NZTA is about to charge for every access to the Motor Vehicle Register for basic information.

    Stolen Vehicle Check

    CarJam has been delivery stolen vehicle information for free for years. When a vehicle is reported stolen to police CarJam is updated from the police system to show the vehicle has been reported stolen by the use of the Motor Vehicle Register.

    Free Stolen Vehicle Check, CINs and more

    CarJam are delighted to announce immediate visibility of the "stolen flag" in our free reports. Previously only available for purchase this free information represents a breakthrough in crime prevention. If you are purchasing a vehicle or worried about dodgy vehicles in your neighbourhood then what could be more useful than quickly and freely determining if a vehicle is stolen as reported to the police. Only from CarJam!

    Accounts for Business Users launched

    CarJam is pleased to announce our new Accounts program. This program is ideally suited to business users who do not want the hassle of paying by credit card for each individual report. A top-up system allows you to pre-pay for multiple reports (minimum top-up $100) and from then on simply purchase with no hassles until the time you need to top up again.

    Facebook Page Moving

    Hey CarJammers time to migrate if you are a fan of ours on Facebook. We need to switch "faces" from carfax.co.nz (our old Facebook page) to a new one for CarJam - please spread the word about the new page here (eventually we'll have to take down the old page carfax.co.nz).

    Is the year shown in reports reliable as year of manufacture?

    For motor vehicles registered before 1 January 2007 "vehicle year" means the year of manufacture or the model year or the year of first registration. For vehicles registered on or after 1 January 2007 "vehicle year" means year of first registration.
