Transferring a vehicle in WA is less gladiatorial than it sounds: the seller lodges a Notification of Disposal via DoTDirect, and the buyer completes the transfer on their side.
Have the rego, VIN/plate, buyer/seller details and sale price handy, then the buyer pays vehicle licence duty (stamp duty) plus a transfer fee online or at a Department of Transport centre.
No routine roadworthy is required in WA for a straightforward private sale; inspections are only needed if the car is unlicensed, defected, or specifically requested.
Do it promptly to avoid late fees, keep a signed receipt, and run a PPSR check to ensure there’s no finance owing before you hand over the folding stuff.
Registration (vehicle licence) includes CTP in WA, so once it’s transferred, you’re legal and less interesting to the constabulary.
