thanks for the reply carizma. the car has been registered in WA before, and it got into a small accident.. and left until the rego is over.

If Rego is out by less than three months, then the following page would be appropriate:

Not sure about the three month thing but make sure you have the Consumer Information Notice document prior to re registering.

give Vic roads a call, and explain your situation.

The CIN is a printout that explains to the consumer what the compliance workshop did to get it to ADR standards.

you might want to thoroughly check the details of the accident

"Statutory write-offs

Statutory write-offs are damaged vehicles that are deemed unsuitable for repair, as the damage is too severe.

These vehicles are known targets of car thieves because they can be purchased at low cost.

The vehicle’s VIN will be recorded as a statutory write-off.

Statutory write-offs are ineligible for registration in Western Australia and in any other jurisdiction within Australia. "
