In Queensland the “roadworthy” is called a Safety Certificate, and you need one when selling a registered vehicle, transferring rego, or re‑registering.
It’s issued by an Approved Inspection Station (AIS)—yes, mobile inspectors can come to you—and it checks the basics: tyres, brakes, lights, windscreen, seatbelts, steering, suspension and rust.
Validity is short and sharp: private sellers get 2 months or 2,000 km, and dealers get 3 months or 1,000 km (whichever comes first).
It’s not a crystal ball or a warranty, just proof the thing won’t fall to bits on Gympie Road; get a pre‑purchase inspection if you want deeper mechanical gossip.
