A roadworthy certificate (also called a safety certificate) confirms to the Queensland Transport Authority that a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards for vehicle registration, sale or transfer. As a Brisbane local roadworthy provider, we offer same-day Brisbane mobile roadworthy certificates and car safety certificates.
Every mobile roadworthy inspection includes a detailed check to ensure your vehicle meets the minimum safety requirements under Queensland law.
Our mobile inspectors examine all safety-critical components including:
If your car fails, we’ll provide a comprehensive report outlining any issues and guide you through what’s needed to get your vehicle re-inspected and cleared.
This is part of our commitment to delivering a reliable service that supports safer roads and stress-free vehicle registration.
Bringing a registered vehicle interstate? You’ll need a local roadworthy in Brisbane (or anywhere you land in QLD).
Handing the car to family or friends? A fresh roadworthy keeps the vehicle registration change hassle-free.
Transfer of ownership in Queensland can’t proceed without a current certificate. Book an efficient inspection first.
Modifying to a new class (say ute to light goods) triggers the need for a new certificate.
Unregistered for 12 months or more? A pass from our mobile roadworthy inspection team gets you legal again.
Major repairs or upgrades affecting safety components require a fresh check to support ongoing road safety.

We are here to ensure your vehicle meets safety standards as quickly and conveniently as possible.
A valid roadworthy certificate is more than a formality. It’s a check to ensure your vehicle meets the basic safety standards required for registration or sale.
It’s also a way to protect yourself and others on the road. Our inspectors follow a clear process to make sure your car is safe to drive and legally compliant, and we’re happy to explain anything that comes up during the inspection. If you’re after a RWC fast, get in touch with us for a mobile safety certificate Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast-wide.
A valid safety certificate is required for all registered light vehicles up to 4,500kg Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), including cars, motorcycles, and trailers (including caravans) with an Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) between 750kg and 4,500kg.
If your vehicle fails the safety inspection, you will be provided with a detailed report outlining the issues that need to be addressed. A vehicle defect notice is issued for poorly maintained vehicles, and obtaining a roadworthy certificate is necessary to address and clear such notices. Once the necessary repairs are made, a re-inspection can be conducted to obtain a valid roadworthy certificate.
Most failures come down to safety-critical defects that fall below the minimum safety requirements set by the Queensland Transport Authority. The issues our inspectors see most often are:
Fixing these items before booking helps vehicle owners pass on the first visit, keeping road safety high and avoiding extra time for re-inspection.
In Queensland a safety certificate has two built-in limits that start the day it’s issued – one for time and one for distance. The certificate expires the moment either limit is reached:
Also good to know:
Yes, you can sell an unregistered vehicle without a current safety certificate. However, if the vehicle is to be registered by the new owner, a safety certificate will be required for the registration process.
Safety or roadworthy certificates can only be issued by Approved Inspection Stations (AIS). Our mobile mechanics are certified to perform these inspections and provide you with either a handwritten or electronic safety certificate.
We provide our roadworthy certificates at a competitive price. The price of our service depends on the vehicle (whether it’s a used vehicle, heavy vehicle, or other type of vehicle) or application. Want to find out more? Get in touch with our friendly team today.
Yes, if the trailer (including caravans) has an Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) between 750kg and 4,500kg, valid roadworthy certificates are required for registration or transfer of ownership.
Failing to obtain a valid roadworthy certificate when disposing of a registered vehicle can result in fines exceeding $700. It is crucial to ensure that all required safety inspections are completed and valid roadworthy certificates are obtained before selling or transferring ownership.
All three involve a qualified inspector checking a vehicle, but each service has its own purpose, checklist and paperwork:
Roadworthy inspection (safety certificate)
A mobile roadworthy inspection is a legal requirement when you sell, transfer or re-register a light vehicle in Queensland. It focuses on minimum safety requirements (brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension, windscreen, rust and leaks) to support road safety. When it passes, you receive a roadworthy certificate that’s valid for a limited time and distance.
Ride-share COI inspection
Ride-share drivers need a current Certificate of Inspection (COI), renewed every 6–12 months, depending on vehicle age, to stay active on platforms like Uber. The checklist mirrors a roadworthy but adds ride-share compliance items (e.g. flashing-light wiring or signage points). Our team issues ride-share COI certificates curb-side so you can upload them to the app the same day.
Pre-purchase inspection
A pre-purchase inspection is optional and far more detailed. It’s designed for buyers who want a full picture of a used car’s mechanical, cosmetic and maintenance condition before paying. We spend longer on-site, run scan-tool diagnostics, road-test where permitted and supply a comprehensive report, but it does not replace a roadworthy or COI for registration purposes.
