If you are driving your car, trailer, motorbike, or caravan in Queensland, it is essential to have a valid roadworthy certificate. A roadworthy certificate is a proof that your vehicle meets the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads’ minimum safety standards for vehicles to be on the road. Here, we will discuss everything you need to know about roadworthy certificates and inspection services in Sunshine Coast, including why they are important when you need them, where to get them, and how to prepare for them.
Having a valid roadworthy certificate is essential for your safety and the safety of others on the road. It also ensures that all vehicles on the road are in a good condition to prevent accidents and fatalities. Additionally, if you are buying or selling a vehicle, you will need a roadworthy certificate to transfer the registration of the vehicle.
A roadworthy certificate involves an inspection of your vehicle’s key components, such as the brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, lights, and other safety-related items, to ensure they are in a safe and reliable condition. The inspection also covers the vehicle’s body and chassis to check for rust, damage, or other issues that may compromise its safety.

GoodBased on 7 reviewsVicky SmithApril 6, 2023After spending hours unsuccessfully trying to secure a mechanic from various companies, Ky, answered the phone straight away and was able to fit a pre purchase inspection in within 24 hours of the request. He communicated with me at every step of the process, showed up on time and was extremely thorough in inspecting every aspect of the vehicle including the finance and history. He found multiple faults that had been covered up and communicated these clearly and thoroughly with photograph images. He saved me from buying a total lemon. I have already arranged for him to do another inspection on the next car and would recommend his services to anyone. Very happy with his professionalism and communication.Michael MeadApril 4, 2023Roadworthy was fast, convenient, came the same day and very friendly. Highly recommend and will reuse again.timhowzitMarch 14, 2023Excellent service. Turned up same day, on time, professional. Will recommend to all my family and friends. Thank you.Jennifer HarpFebruary 11, 2023Yesterday Ky came to inspect my 5-year-old Toyota Hilux for a roadworthy certificate. As someone with a mechanical background, I hadn't noticed a few things that needed to be fixed. Ky was quick, efficient and polite throughout the inspection. Even when he had to tell me that I would need to do some minor repairs before he could issue the RWC, he did it with real professionalism. Fantastic service and I couldn't recommend him more highly! A+++!Cooper BlakeJanuary 21, 2023Ky was on time and his communication from booking to completing the roadworthy was simple and easy.

You are required to obtain a roadworthy certificate in the following situations: - When you buy or sell a registered vehicle - When you re-register a vehicle that has been unregistered for more than 2 years - When your vehicle has been involved in a major accident or incident - When your vehicle has been modified or altered in a way that affects its safety or operation - When a police officer requests a roadworthy inspection
All used vehicles in Queensland require a roadworthy certificate before they can be sold or transferred. This includes cars, trailers, caravans, motorbikes, and other vehicles that have a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of up to 4.5 tonnes.
If you are caught driving a vehicle without a valid roadworthy certificate, you may receive a fine and demerit points. Your vehicle may also be impounded, and you will need to obtain a roadworthy certificate and pay a release fee before you can get it back.
The most common reasons for failing a roadworthy inspection include faulty brakes, defective tyres, worn-out suspension, malfunctioning lights, and issues with the steering and suspension. Rust, damage, and wear and tear on the body and chassis of the vehicle can also lead to a failed inspection.
To get a roadworthy certificate, you will need to provide proof of ownership, such as a Queensland registration certificate. You may also need to show previous safety and compliance certificates, especially for a used vehicle.
