Yes. Choosing a comprehensive car history report from revscheck.com.au tracks historical mileage data, if it is available. This can help you to spot odometer clocking where a seller rolls back the numbers to make a high-mileage car look more attractive. A basic PPSR search does not provide odometer history.

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications and manufacturer.
The VIN can be found in a couple of places including on the car's registration label (1), on the compliance plate in the engine bay (2) or on the passenger side windshield (3), or on one of the door posts (where the door latches when it is closed) (4). See the image below:
