When a Roadworthy is Required

In Queensland, a roadworthy certificate—also called a safety certificate—is required in several common situations. You’ll need one when selling a registered vehicle, transferring registration to a new owner, or re-registering a vehicle that has been unregistered.


The requirement applies to cars, utes, trailers (over 750kg ATM) and motorcycles. The certificate confirms the vehicle meets minimum safety standards at the time of inspection. It must be obtained before listing the vehicle for sale and displayed during the selling process.


Without a valid certificate, the transfer or registration can’t be processed, and you may face fines. Even if the vehicle appears roadworthy, a formal inspection is the only way to confirm legal compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a vehicle fail a mobile roadworthy inspection?

    Yes, vehicles can fail if they don’t meet safety standards. Common issues include bald tyres, faulty brakes, broken lights, steering or suspension faults and windscreen cracks. If the vehicle fails, the inspector provides a report outlining what needs fixing. These issues must be repaired before the vehicle can be reinspected and issued a safety certificate.

  • What happens if a mobile roadworthy fails?

    If a mobile roadworthy fails, the inspector issues a rejection notice detailing the problems. Repairs must be completed before a reinspection can occur. Some providers offer free or discounted follow-ups within 14 days. The vehicle must stay in the same condition apart from the listed repairs to remain eligible for reinspection and certification.

  • Can you drive a car without a roadworthy certificate?

    No, driving without a valid roadworthy (safety) certificate is illegal when one is required for sale, transfer or registration. Doing so may result in fines or registration refusal. In limited cases, unregistered vehicles may be driven with a special permit to obtain a certificate—but only under specific conditions approved by the transport authority.
