Mobile Roadworthy Brisbane

1. Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car?

If you sell, transfer, or purchase a vehiclethat does not yet have a safety certificate, you will need an RWC to complete the title transferthrough the Queensland Transport Authority. Suppose you do not have a safety certificate. In that case, the Department of Transport will not be able to permit the transfer of ownership of the vehicle, and the car may be deregistered. A safety certificate is also required for new vehicle registration after the registration has expired.

2. What does a Certificate of Inspection cover?

A roadworthy examination verifies that the car is safe for use on the road and essential.

Components adhere to a set standard. It contains:

• a. vehicle identification numbers, such as the VIN, chassis, and engine number.
• b. systems for steering, suspension, and brakes
• c. vehicle design
• d. reflectors and light
• e. Tires and wheels
• f. seat belts and seats
• g. front and rear windows, front wipers, and front washers
• h. various safety-related components on the chassis, engine, or body.

3. Who can provide a Safety Certificate in QLD?

Only approved inspection stations (AIS), which can include service stations, garages, or workshops supported by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, are permitted to offer QLD Safety Certificates.

4. What doesn't a Roadworthy Certificate cover?

The mechanical reliability or overall condition of a vehicle is not examined by the Certificate of

Inspection. An inspection certificate does not include the following:

• The car's mechanical integrity is good.
• The air conditioner, rear window wipers, and rear window demister are all available non-safety extras.
• The items examined during the roadworthy inspection will continue to operate after the inspection. However, other things, such as a brake light, may cease to work after the review.

5. How long are safety certificates valid?

Depending on who is selling the car, a safety certificate's duration may vary:

All other sellers' certificates are good for two months or two thousand kilometres from the date of issue. Licensed motor dealers' certificates are valid for three months or one thousand kilometres from the date of issue, whichever comes first.

As long as you stay within the boundaries outlined above, you can register an unregistered vehicle using the same safety certificate before transferring the registration.

Even if you sell a car within the parameters outlined above, you will require a new safety certificate each time you do so. Only one transfer may be made using a single safety certificate.

6. What do I do with the certificate?

Provide your Safety Certificate, the required purchase/transfer paperwork, and the associated fee to the Queensland Department of Transport. The department of Queensland will transfer and update the transport records of ownership. Within 60 days or 2000 miles after the date you receive it, you must take your roadworthy certificate to the Department of Transportation.

7. What if the vehicle fails the test?

Suppose Queensland Transport standards are not met by your vehicle. In that case, our assessors will provide you with a rejection report explaining the specific problems and fixes required to pass a safety inspection. You must address each issue listed on the information before scheduling a time with us to have the car re-inspected. Up to 14 days following the initial inspection, a re-inspection may be performed; however, beyond this time, the certificate will become invalid, and a new check will be required.
