Checking vehicle status in S.A?

[Kryton]

Wondering if there is an easy way to check the status of a S.A registered vehicle (written off, not encumbrance)?
I know there is this:

But i dont have the VIN.
In Victoria, you only need the rego number to be able to check (and its free).
Is there any other way?
