I found the record match in RTA record,when check on REVS, and the engine no is the same without 6FPAAA.

Just cannot find the information on some website(such as https://www.checkitout.com.au/index.php), but another one's VIN number can be found on this website,(6FPAAAJGSWXD33874), it's possible?

just got reply from that website:

The vehicle that you are searching on (6FPAAAJGSWXD33466) is duplicated in the National Database and as such, a valid Vcheck certificate can not be provided.

This issue has been reported to the relevant authority to rectify the matter however this can unfortunately take some time.

This issue does not necessarily mean that there is an issue with the vehicle, only that an input error has been made when registering or transferring the vehicle.

We apologise for any inconvenience

Thank you for using checkitout.com.au

you should always confirm vehicle identity authentication with ford customer service company 13FORD. I do always when i purchase 2nd hands falcon for cab confirm colour and further details such as trim colour, engine and boxgear combination.

It might differ fron state to state (but I doubt it), but when buying a car from a dealer they are required to supply a revs cert with it. Have a look through the crap you got when you bought it

https://online.revs.nsw.gov.au/revs/public.htm

I find this one easier to use, besides its the government so you know its the real deal. Used it for all my cars and they have been 100% legit. Also nice for checking old cars you once had too see if they havent been written off.
