Mobile Safety Certificate Brisbane

A safety certificate, otherwise known as a roadworthy certificate, is a vehicle inspection that ensures your car, motorbike, trailer or truck is safe to be driven on Queensland roads.

These certificates are needed in order to put your light vehicle (up to 4,500kg gross vehicle mass) up for sale or when transferring ownership or moving interstate.

This process takes only 45 minutes and our team at Brisbane Mobile Roadworthy will come to you at your home or business to supply this service. If your vehicle fails the inspection, you will have 14 days to rectify the issue(s) and call us back for a reinspection.

If your vehicle passes the safety inspection, you will be issued a handwritten or electronic copy of your certificate. If you receive a handwritten safety certificate, it must be displayed in your vehicle’s windscreen.

If you opt for an electronic copy, it will be emailed to you and you must be able to produce this if requested by a buyer, police officer or transport inspector. Failure to adhere to these laws will result in a hefty fine.

As an important aspect of driver and road safety in Queensland, you must have a safety inspection performed by an authorised and qualified mechanic to ensure your vehicle meets the requirements of state safety laws.

As an independent and locally owned company, our team at Brisbane Mobile Roadworthy places significant importance on community safety and will provide a comprehensive service followed by a detailed report.

We will offer feedback based on the result of the inspection and assist you throughout the entire process.

What Does A Safety Certificate Cover?

Safety certificates can only be issued by a qualified and licensed garage or service station and will not be valid if performed by anyone else.

With over 25 years of dedicated experience in the trade, our team is well-versed in the best practices of safety certificate inspections.

A safety certification will inspect and consider:

  • Wheels & Tyres
  • Steering & Suspension
  • Brakes
  • Seats & Seat Belts
  • Lights, Signals & Reflectors
  • Windscreen & Windows
  • Vehicle Body & Chassis

A safety certificate does not check the general condition or mechanical reliability of the vehicle, but we do offer a comprehensive mechanical inspection as an additional service if required.

We recognise that buying or selling a vehicle is a big decision and it is our priority to make sure both parties are equally satisfied with the result.

It’s important for the buyer to know the vehicle they intend to purchase is in good working order.

Additionally, it’s a legal requirement for the seller to supply a safety certificate, and it can also help increase the value of their vehicle if it’s in good condition.

Inspecting all makes and models, our comprehensive inspection reports break down every aspect of the vehicle’s safety condition.

If you need help understanding any mechanical terms, our staff are here to provide friendly, easy-to-understand feedback.

A safety certificate ensures buyer protection and states that a vehicle complies with Queensland safety standards. These certificates are valid for:

  • 2 months or 2,000km (whichever comes first) for private sales
  • 3 months or 1,000km (whichever comes first) if sold by a licensed motor dealership

For unregistered vehicles, the owner is not legally required to provide a safety certificate, but it’s still highly recommended for the buyer’s peace of mind.

Displaying A Safety Certificate

It is a legal requirement that Queensland safety certificates be displayed in a position that is easily visible. For example:

  • Motorbike: Front forks or guards
  • Car: Windscreen or window
  • Trailer: Draw-bar

You do not need to provide a safety certificate if your vehicle is unregistered or if it falls under an exemption. Common exemption situations include:

  • Being located in an exempt area
  • Transferring between spouses or deceased estates
  • Remote locations
