Inspections Covering Every Detail
A roadworthy inspection covers more than the basics. We assess tyres for tread depth, brakes for stopping power, suspension for stability, and lights, windscreen, wipers and seatbelts for compliance. Oil leaks, body rust and structural issues are also checked to ensure vehicles meet Queensland’s safety standards. Each inspection is completed carefully, so you can drive away knowing your car is legally safe and secure.
Roadworthy certificates aren’t just paperwork — they provide peace of mind. If you’re buying, selling or re-registering a vehicle, book an inspection and take the guesswork out of safety. Get in touch today to arrange your certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a Queensland roadworthy certificate valid for?
In Queensland, a safety certificate is generally valid for 2 months or 2,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, when selling or transferring ownership. For dealers, the certificate usually lasts longer, up to 3 months or 1,000 vehicles sold. Always check the current Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) regulations to confirm exact validity periods before relying on the certificate.
What is checked in a roadworthy inspection?
A roadworthy inspection covers essential safety systems including tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, wipers and seatbelts. Inspectors also look for leaks, body rust and structural integrity. The aim is to ensure a vehicle is safe to operate on public roads. Non-safety items, like cosmetic damage, are not usually assessed during this type of inspection.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car?
Yes, in Queensland, a valid roadworthy certificate (also called a safety certificate) is required when selling or transferring a registered car, motorcycle or trailer. This ensures the vehicle meets minimum safety standards. Without the certificate, you cannot legally advertise or finalise the sale. It protects both buyers and sellers by confirming road safety compliance.
