Hi Folks,

Newbie here.

I am looking to purchase a used unit here in Ontario and would like some advice on how to check for leins. Can this be done via ministry search using vin #?

Obviously will request original purchase docs but just want to make sure I have this covered.

Thanks for any help.

By Ontario law, private sellers of most motor vehicles, including motorcycles, must provide buyers with a Used Vehicle Information Package. This package guides you through the process of buying or selling and helps you understand your rights and responsibilities.

The used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) includes:
1) Description of the vehicle
- Vehicle Indentification Number (VIN)
- Plate Number
- Year, Make
- Model
- Colour
- Body Type
- Cylinders
- Power
- Status
- Brand
2) Ontario vehicle registration history
3) Odometer information
4) Outstanding debts (link to liens) on the vehicle
5) Wholesale and retail values for the vehicle's model and year, if available
6) Retail sales tax requirements
7) Bill of sale
8) Tips on vehicle safety standards inspections

or just call the police with the vin.....

Nope. We won't run a VIN for you. Go to your local MTO.
