do you need a roadworthy to sell a trailer in qld

In Queensland, selling a trailer doesn't necessarily require a roadworthy certificate, but it does require a safety certificate (often confused with a roadworthy). This safety certificate confirms the trailer is safe for use on the road, focusing on brakes, lights, and tyres.

However, if the trailer has been modified or hasn't been registered before, a thorough inspection might be necessary. Expect to pay around $30-$70 for a safety certificate from authorised inspection stations.

Always check the latest from Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads to avoid surprises. For listings, Tradingpost and CarShowroom often have trailers with current certificates, so have a look there.
