how long does a roadworthy last in queensland

In Queensland, the so-called "roadworthy" certificate is actually a Safety Certificate, and it only lasts for 1 month or 1,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. This short shelf life ensures your vehicle hasn’t turned into a death trap before you register it or sell it. Don’t expect any magical grace period; if you’re caught with an expired certificate, you’re toast. Remember, these certificates are mandatory when transferring vehicle ownership or registering a used vehicle.

For the nitty-gritty, always check the official Queensland Government transport website or ServiceCentral for the latest updates and authorised inspection stations.
