In Queensland, a Roadworthy Certificate is needed when a registered light vehicle is offered for sale, or when re-registering an unregistered vehicle. This confirms that a vehicle has passed a minimum safety standard inspection. The inspection covers the basics for the safe operation of the vehicle such as; tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, body rust or damage, windscreen and lights.
- Selling Your Car
The Roadworthy Certificate must be displayed in an obvious area of your vehicle when selling it. For a car, this in generally on the windscreen or window. Our Roadworthy Certificates are valid for 2 months or 2,000km (which ever comes first) from the date of issue.
