OCSA Vehicle Disclosure Standard · Draft for consultation
What a fully disclosed car prize looks like
This is a specimen listing. The operator and vehicle are fictional, and every figure is illustrative. On the left is what a player would see. On the right, in italics, OCSA explains why each item is there. Everything shown can be published without creating a security risk for the operator or the winner.

What we deliberately leave out
These details add nothing a player needs, and each creates a real risk.
- Full VIN (chassis number). Used to clone vehicle identities and order duplicate keys.
- V5C document reference number. Allows the vehicle to be taxed and the keeper changed online.
- Where the car is kept. No addresses, recognisable driveways or showroom locations in photos before the draw.
- Previous keepers’ names or addresses. Personal data, and irrelevant to the player.
- Security and tracker details. Make, model or fitting location of trackers and immobilisers.
- The winner’s address or delivery date. Publish the winner’s first name and town only, with their consent.
