A pink slip (Safety Inspection Report) is required annually for light vehicles over five years old before registration renewal. Inspections check essential safety components like brakes, tires, and lights. If your vehicle passes, the results are electronically lodged with Service NSW. Pink slips are valid for six months.
A Safety Certificate can be mandatory when selling, transferring ownership, or re-registering an unregistered vehicle. Conducted by approved inspection stations like RedBook Inspect, it covers key safety aspects like brakes, steering, and lights. Certificates are valid for 2 months (private sellers) or 1,000 km (dealers).
What is my vehicle is for rideshare?
To drive for Uber, DiDi, Ola, or any rideshare service in Queensland, you must obtain an annual Certificate of Inspection (COI) to ensure your vehicle meets road safety standards. A COI is required for all booked hire and ride share vehicles and must be renewed every 12 months. Book a rideshare inspection at our approved stations.
In WA, a roadworthy inspection is required when re-registering an unlicensed vehicle, clearing a compliance notice (yellow sticker), registering a repairable written-off vehicle, or certifying modifications (such as changes to the body, engine, or dimensions). These inspections must be conducted at authorised examination centres to ensure the vehicle meets WA’s road safety and compliance standards.

A roadworthy inspection is a safety check conducted to ensure your vehicle meets the legal requirements for safe operation on Australian roads. It assesses critical components like brakes, tyres, suspension, and lighting.
A valid roadworthy certificate can be required for selling a vehicle, transferring registration, or renewing your vehicle’s registration in many Australian states, including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia. It ensures your car is safe to drive and reduces the risk of accidents caused by faulty vehicle parts.
Roadworthy inspection requirements vary by state. In Victoria, a roadworthy inspection is needed when selling a car to transfer registration or when transferring ownership. In New South Wales and Queensland, it’s required for registration renewal and during a change of ownership. Western Australia also mandates a roadworthy inspection for vehicle registration and transfer. Always check with your local road transport authority for specific requirements based on your vehicle's age and condition.

A roadworthy inspection focuses solely on safety-related components to ensure your vehicle meets legal road standards. It includes checks on essential parts like the engine, brakes, tyres, and lights. On the other hand, a pre-purchase car inspection is more comprehensive, examining both safety and mechanical condition, including any hidden issues that could affect the vehicle’s performance or value. A pre-purchase inspection is typically conducted before buying a used car to identify any potential problems.
Yes, you can get a roadworthy inspection for an already registered vehicle. In most states, a roadworthy inspection may be required if you are transferring ownership or renewing registration. Even if you're not selling your vehicle, having a roadworthy inspection can give you peace of mind that your car is safe and roadworthy. If your vehicle fails the inspection, you will need to address the issues before it can be re-registered or transferred.
To prepare your car for a roadworthy inspection, ensure all lights, brakes, tyres, suspension, and windscreen wipers are functioning properly. Check your vehicle’s tyres for sufficient tread and correct pressure, and make sure there are no fluid leaks. Common reasons for failing include worn-out tyres, faulty brakes, non-functioning lights, or issues with the suspension. Regular maintenance and keeping your vehicle in good condition can help you pass the inspection easily.
A pink slip inspection is a mandatory safety check for vehicles in New South Wales (NSW) that ensures your car is roadworthy for registration renewal. In Sydney, you can easily book your pink slip inspection through RedBook Inspect. Our certified inspectors will carry out the required assessment, and if your vehicle passes, we’ll provide you with the necessary certificate for your registration renewal.
