Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a car without a safety certificate in QLD?
You generally cannot legally sell a registered vehicle in Queensland without a safety certificate. The certificate must be obtained before the vehicle is listed for sale and presented to the buyer during the transaction.
However, unregistered vehicles can be sold without one, though the buyer will need to obtain a certificate before registering the vehicle.
When do I need a roadworthy or safety certificate in Queensland?
In Queensland, a safety certificate is required when selling a registered vehicle, transferring registration to a new owner or re-registering an unregistered vehicle.
It’s also needed for certain types of vehicle use, such as Uber or rideshare driving. The certificate must be issued before advertising the vehicle for sale, and it’s valid for 2,000 km or 2 months, whichever comes first.
What is checked in a roadworthy or safety certificate inspection in QLD?
A roadworthy or safety certificate inspection in Queensland checks the essential safety components of a vehicle, including tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, seatbelts and the vehicle’s body structure.
