In WA there isn’t a “roadworthy certificate” like Vic; you book a Department of Transport inspection at an Authorised Inspection Station and pass—simple, in theory. You’ll usually need it for first licensing in WA, defect notices, re-licensing an unregistered vehicle, or after major mods—not for a regular private sale. Book online or via DoT, pay the fee (think roughly AUD 100–200), and bring ID, proof of ownership, any mod receipts, and a temporary movement permit if it’s unlicensed. Prep the car: tyres with legal tread, all lights/indicators working, no leaks, good brakes/steering/suspension, intact seatbelts, clean windscreen, matching VIN, and no structural rust. If it fails, you’ll get a list; fix the issues and return within the timeframe on the report for a recheck. Pass the test and you’re good to license it—cue triumphant exit, preferably without the exhaust sounding like a didgeridoo full of bees.
