roadworthy certificate qld Page 5

A Roadworthy Certificate in Queensland, often called a Safety Certificate, is your vehicle's official green light to hit the road legally. It confirms the car meets minimum safety standards, covering brakes, tyres, lights, and more. Expect to pay around $50 to $100 AUD for the inspection, which is mandatory when selling or transferring registration. The certificate lasts for 1 to 3 months, so don’t dawdle with the paperwork. For used cars, listings on Tradingpost or CarShowroom often note if a Safety Certificate is included, saving you a headache. Always check with the Queensland Department of Transport for the latest rules—because roadworthy isn't just a suggestion, it's the law.
