What is the NPS-VCR project?
VCR or Vehicle Check Report is a reverse lookup project started to aid communities and is part of the NP Tracker family of products.
Users of NP Tracker regularly asked for this function even if we do not have an active lookout report for a specific vehicle they need to confirm that the vehicle plate/VIN is in fact linked to a specific vehicle Make, Model, Colour (and even VIN or Engine number). We contacted the authorities to assist us but were ultimately informed that they cannot assist. We still continued with the project - we do not give up - and decided to follow the same route we followed with NP tracker to generate a public domain lookup database for suspect and suspicious vehicles BUT this time do a reverse lookup check based on vehicles registration numbers or VIN's and provide the Make, Model etc data.
What to do if the info displayed on the NPS-VCR is incorrect?
I want to bring to your attention a unique aspect of vehicle registration numbers in certain South African provinces, like the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. These provinces practice the reuse of previously registered numbers, which may result in unexpected outcomes when generating the NPS-VCR (Vehicle Check report) through the NP Tracker suspect and suspicious vehicle reporting system.
To help the NP Tracker team address this situation effectively, you have the opportunity to contribute by scanning the vehicle license disk using our dedicated scanner applications or by sending a clear photo of the license disk to our bot at NP Tracker on Telegram. By doing so, you will assist in updating the records and ensuring accurate reporting during subsequent vehicle lookups.
It's important to note that this particular discrepancy in vehicle registration numbers does not have any impact on the reliability or precision of the other reports generated by the NP Tracker system. This circumstance is specific to the NPS-VCR report and does not affect the overall performance of the system. You can rest assured that the remaining reports provided by NP Tracker continue to deliver valuable information based on the contributions of community members.
Thank you for your understanding and for actively participating in enhancing the accuracy of vehicle reporting within the NP Tracker system. Your involvement plays a significant role in maintaining the system's effectiveness and reliability.
