Roadworth/Safety Certificate

[monstersinthedungeon]

Our car is in for a roadworthy today, the mechanic asked me if I am keeping or selling the vehicle. I have been asked the same question before when getting a roadworthy and don't understand the relevance - surely a roadworthy is a roadworthy regardless of what your intentions are?

Do they make it not as strict if you're keeping it, or something?

I dont get why you'd want a roadworthy.c if you own & intend to keep a car.

When you take your car for a regular service they should let you know of any faults and if you want them rectified. 

I believe in NSW they need one every year...

 thats right richo , one of the local testers takes video of the cars as well.

O I see, so this is purely to do with their compulsory annual inspections for the road authority, we dont have that over here in west

but, they have clamped down on backyard operators, last time i heard it costs $180 to have your car inspected and, they will not register a repaired written off wreck.

you need (in NSW) to get whats called a Pink Slip, which is a roadworthy certificate, in order to register your car. You need it every year

they are only valid for 30 days so photos etc is pointless really

How much does that cost?

I just make sure if i do get pulled over, my cars in roadworthy condition so the cops wont slap on a yellow sticker {work order}

Back to post 7 re the new windscreen-lol.

Mate took a car into a tester in a nearby town.

Before he got out of the car-the tester told him he would need a new windscreen.

He protested and said he had a new one fitted a few weeks earlier and had the receipt

in the glove box.

The tester then got a calling card from his pocket -a local mobile windscreen fitter.

Appears a bit dodgy....................................Richo.

I don't know how good NSW road-worthies are, we brought our van from NSW and to roadworthy in Vic we had to spend over 2 grand, not including the registration.

In Qld, you only need a roadworthy when you are selling a car with registration. The onus is on the seller.

joz - the  NSW - safety check costs around $34 (previously called pink slips).
