What is a vehicle registration inspection?
A vehicle registration inspection is a check carried out to ensure a car meets the legal and safety standards required for it to be registered or re-registered. The inspection typically covers important safety features such as brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, steering and emissions. If the vehicle passes, it receives a certificate confirming it is roadworthy. This certificate is often required before a registration can be processed or renewed. The inspection helps maintain safety on the roads by identifying mechanical or structural issues that could pose a risk. These checks are especially important for older vehicles or those changing ownership or states.
How often does my car need an inspection?
The frequency of vehicle inspections depends on local laws and the age or type of vehicle. In many regions, newer cars are exempt for several years, while older vehicles may require an annual inspection. Some commercial vehicles or those used for ride-share services may be inspected more frequently. Additionally, inspections are usually required when transferring ownership or re-registering a car that hasn’t been on the road. Always check your state or territory’s specific requirements. Regular inspections help ensure your car is safe, compliant and legal to drive, and they often highlight issues before they lead to breakdowns or fines.
What happens if my car fails an inspection?
If your car fails a registration inspection, you’ll receive a report detailing the reasons and the repairs needed for it to pass. Common reasons for failure include worn brakes, faulty lights, damaged tyres or fluid leaks. Once the issues are fixed, the car can be re-inspected, often within a limited time frame, without having to pay the full fee again. It’s important not to ignore a failed inspection, as the vehicle cannot be legally registered or driven until it passes. Promptly addressing the listed faults ensures your car is roadworthy and helps avoid penalties or further mechanical complications.
