Mobile Roadworthy Certificates
You may not realise but Roadworthy Certificate Inspections in Queensland can be done as a mobile inspection.
So what does this actually mean? Well, you can be at home or even at work and we come out to you.
Unlike most states and territories in Australia, Queensland Roadworthy Inspections can be carried out on site.
Does this mean that you can no longer take your car into a workshop to be inspected? Absolutely not.
However, the Mobile Roadworthy Certificate Inspections can save you a lot of time and hassle.
Is a Mobile Roadworthy the same as Safety Certificate?
You may see online that a Roadworthy Certificate is referred to as a Safety Certificate.
They are one of the same.
That is to say that both are referring to the same inspection that is required to register or transfer a vehicle in Queensland.
Queensland Transport used to call it a Roadworthy Certificate now it is called a Safety Certificate.
There is no difference between the two inspections.
Image: Reuters
How do I prepare for a mobile roadworthy inspection?
All of the details are taken from the car, motorbike or trailer itself. This is apart of the identification criteria to pass the Roadworthy Inspection.
A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) plate is affixed to each vehicle and from this information the examiner is able to confirm the identity of the vehicle.
If you do have previous or current registration papers available it is helpful but is not a necessity.
Here is a list of the top 3 things that you will be able to check yourself prior to the inspection.
- Are all your lights working? Turn your headlights on. Check the high beams are also working. Engage both indicators, brake lights and reverse lights.
- Are there any lights on the dash? Check engine lights or airbag lights. Service indicator lights do not affect your ability to pass a Roadworthy Inspection.
- Check your tyres. There is a minimum of 1.5mm tread depth required across the whole width of the tyre. This is for all surfaces that come into contact with the road surface. Note: Your spare tyre is not required to be roadworthy or even present at the time of inspection.
What happens if my car does not pass?
It is not uncommon for vehicles to need repairs in order to pass an inspection. These can be quite minor repairs through to major work required.
This entirely depends on the service history of the vehicle, general maintenance and the age of the vehicle.
However, the Queensland Transport allows you 14 days to have any repairs completed. Within this time you can take the vehicle into your mechanic and have the repairs carried out.
Once they have been completed, we come back out to you to check those items. A completed Roadworthy Certificate is issued and you are good to go ahead with registration or transfer of registration.
Note: (Re-inspection fees do apply to cover time and travel to come back out)
How is the Roadworthy Certificate Issued?
To make things even easier, Roadworthy Certificates are issued online.
How is this different from how it used to be done?
For decades, a Roadworthy Certificate would be hand written on paper.
That original copy was the only copy that Queensland Transport would accept so if you lost it then you would have to go through the whole process all over again.
Things have most certainly changed for the better.
The examiner logs into the ICO (Inspection Certificates Online) system that is hosted by Queensland Transport. This system is where the Roadworthy Certificate is issued from. Instantly Queensland Transport can see the Roadworthy Certificate has been issued and it is attached to your registration.
When you check your registration online you can see the actual Certificate number. You can do this check by clicking this link.
Most importantly, with an online certificate you can change the registration to another person online. There is no need to go into Queensland Transport customer service centres.
Unfortunately, if you are transferring the ownership to a Company or registering a vehicle you will need to attend the Customer Service Centre.
How long does my Roadworthy Certificate last for?
The Roadworthy Certificate is valid for 2 months or 2000kms for a private sale.
For dealers it is 3 months or 1000kms.
In the situation where the time has expired or the vehicle has travelled more than the allowed kms, a new inspection will be required.

How the Coronavirus is Affecting the Automotive Industry
With everything going on in the world today with the COVID-19 coronavirus
many of us are feeling the impact already on our day-to-day lives.
many of us are feeling the impact already on our day-to-day lives.
Firstly, Supermarkets toilet paper panic buying is not the only shortage that has
companies bulk buying.
companies bulk buying.
Secondly, the share market prices plummeting.
And lastly, the general slow down of business transactions.
How is the short supply of automotive parts going to affect you?
As a result of countries going into quarantine the supply of automotive parts will be greatly affected.
Consequently, many of the suppliers for the major car manufacturers are in China. Even if the factories are located outside of China, the spread of the virus has led to a slow down of production.
Hence, there are automotive companies bulk buying and holding stock of parts for current production and spare parts.
Image: Reuters
How does the Coronavirus effect you and I?
If your vehicle requires a part to be replaced, is there going to be a part of the shelf available?
Not only will this affect genuine parts market but also aftermarket parts. If orders are unable to be filled from your local distributor due to factories not producing then what happens next?
This may not be something that affects you this week but what happens in 6 or 12 months time when there is a backlog of spare parts orders to be shipped?
What can you do about it?
Unless you have a crystal ball under the hood of your car it may feel like you can’t prepare for this. However, if you are aware of parts or service items that your mechanic has given you an indication, best to do it now.
Sometimes we tend to put off some items on our car for repair because it is expensive to fix, unable to find the time to be without the car or it is not an urgent item so you can tend to it next service.
Knowing that the shortage of spare parts will be affecting Australia sooner rather than later may be the motivator to tackle these repairs as soon as possible.
Now, I am not suggesting that you go and bulk buy all possible parts that could fail on your car. However, getting a mechanic to do a check over even if your service is not due is advisable.
How does this affect Car Sales?
With the media reporting more and more quarantined countries it is not surprising that sales have absolutely plummeted in the new car industry. Jaguar Land Rover reported they have been hit with a massive 85% drop in sales in the past month. (As reported in The Guardian 6th March 2020).
A company representative has commented, “In the first half of the month about 20% of dealers were open (In China) which has since improved to now over 80%, although most are still operating with reduced staffing and facilities.”
“Jaguar Land Rover expects this to improve over the course of March, however, retail sales are expected to recover more gradually”.
What about supply of parts for production?
Jaguar Land Rover’s plant has reopened on 24th February and faces the challenges now of the supply chain of parts for production.
So how are other manufacturers coping with the crisis?
Upon reading statements from various automotive manufacturers it is apparent that they have all created “War rooms” to combat the battle for parts.
In these War Rooms as one can imagine would have the key people in the supply chain calculating exactly what products can be retrofitted to the vehicles in order to get orders out the door.
There is no doubt a list of must have items that stop production all together. Most manufacturers are making comments on the supply being okay for the month of March. We are yet to see any comments about April onwards.
How are manufacturers protecting their employees?
General Motors has made a statement that they have enough parts to continue production without disruption deep into this month.
However, General Motors have taken precautions to protect not only their production but also their staff.
Following the link on their website: https://www.gm.com/coronavirus.html, General Motors have a health screening questionnaire that is required to be filled out before any visitors may enter any of their facilities.
Questions such as “Have you returned from any of the countries listed on gm.com/coronavirus within the last 14 days?
The countries listed on the site are:
- China
- Italy
- Iran
- Japan
- South Korea
There are other questions relating to the close contact with diagnosed COVID-19 persons within 14 days and if the potential visitor has any of the cold or flu-like symptoms such as (Fever, cough, sore throat, respiratory illness, difficulty breathing)
General Motors have restricted staff travel to ensure the safety of those that are employed by the company. At this stage they have no staff that are infected with the COVID-19.
Most companies have restricted the travel of executives to protect their staff from possible infection of the virus.
However Toyota is not as lucky. A staff member at a Toyota dealership tested positive for COVID-19 in Seattle.
The dealership was in direct contact with the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and conducted a thorough clean of the facility.
In conclusion, the worse is still yet to come. This is a problem that is not going to be resolved overnight. In fact, most experts are saying that it is going to get worse before its gets better.

Hail can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.
When the skies open up and hail comes crashing down it usually happens with little to no warning.
You watch in despair as your car that was left in the driveway or parked on the street being pelted with chunks of ice.
This reminds you that days like this you are lucky you have your insurance coverage on the car. It still doesn’t take the sting away from seeing your car being damaged right before your eyes.
Once mother nature has completed the storm you have to now deal with assessing the damage that is done. The biggest question on everyones mind is, What Happens Now?
This is a guide to give you the clarity on what to do and what to expect when your car has been damaged by hail.
So, where to begin?
Lets start with the first call to your insurance company.
They will need to know the location, time of the incident and your policy details.
Once the claim has been filed they will give you a claim number. Best to write that down somewhere safe.
From here the insurance company will need to assess the damage on the vehicle to determine if the vehicle can be fixed.
Some vehicles with minor damage can have hail damage repairs completed easily. Broken windscreen etc.
However, the biggest issue with storms is the cosmetic hail damage that may be across the whole surface of the car.
The insurance assessor will be looking at the cost of repair compared to the value of the vehicle.
From there they may conclude that the vehicle repair outweighs the costs of replacement.
What happens to a hail damaged vehicle that has become a repairable write-off?
The vehicle is listed on the repairable write-off register. This will lodge the insurance claim against the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
You find this information when you complete a Car History Report or PPSR.
Upon the repairs being completed the vehicle then needs to go through a process called WOVI.
WOVI stands for Written Off Vehicle Inspection.
However, before you can book an inspection with WOVI you will require a valid Safety Certificate.
After the WOVI inspection has been passed the vehicle is now ready to be re-registered back on the road.

Takata Airbag compulsory recall update
A compulsory recall on faulty airbags has been issued by the Federal Government in February 2018.
The Takata branded airbags that have been segregated into 2 groups. The first being the ‘Alpha’, secondly the ‘Beta’.
Which make and models are affected?
The Alpha airbag group are the higher risk group and because of this it is critical to have these airbags immediately. Consequently, the vehicles that were fitted in them between 2001 and 2004 are:
- Honda
- Toyota
- Nissan
- BMW
- Mazda
- Lexus
Subsequently, Buyers and Sellers can search online if a vehicle has had an airbag recall at http://www.ismyaibagsafe.com.
However, there is a link on that website that you can check if the recalled airbag has been replaced. From these links it will then take you through to the manufacturers website. This can also be used to show potential buyers that the recall has been completed and that the car is now safe.
Does this affect my Safety Certificate Inspection?
Meanwhile, Queensland Transport and Main Roads are supporting the Federal Government in the recall. For instance, notifications have been sent to owners at risk from their database. TMR are also requesting that Approved Inspection Stations note on the Safety Certificate if the vehicle has not had a faulty airbag replacement.
This is information that the new buyer of the vehicle can be made aware of if this is noted on the Safety Certificate. This could potentially put your buyer off the sale of the vehicle so best to have the recall sorted prior to your Roadworthy Certificate Inspection.
So, be aware that Queensland Transport and Main Roads may cancel the registration of the vehicles that are in the higher risk with the Alpha Airbags.
In short, for peace of mind and the safety of you and your family do not put off the recall replacement. It is not worth the risk.

How to Prepare your vehicle for sale
Put yourself in the buyers shoes when selling your vehicle.
Although, things that are important to you when you are looking at buying a vehicle will most likely be similar to other buyers in the market.
First impressions count, therefore the first encounter your potential buyer is going to have with you and the vehicle is visual.
Present yourself to the buyer in a friendly, approachable manner. There is no need to become a used car sales person. However, certainly take a moment to make them feel welcome.
Top 10 Tips for Cleaning your vehicle
- Remove Dust and Dirt from all the hard to reach places.
- Vacuum not only the floors mat but also underneath them.
- Clean inside the boot of the car
- Wipe inside and outside windows using Newspapers and windex.
- Freshen up the leather seats. For example: cleaning agents or a damp cloth. Always test first on a non visible small patch before use.
- Anywhere your hands regularly touch for instance door handles, gear knobs and steering wheels.
- Remove all items from the vehicle excluding owners manuals, logbooks and receipts related to vehicle maintenance.
- Clear out coins or items that can rattle throughout the test drive.
- Wipe down the dash and stereo with a damp cloth.
- Add tyre shine.
On the other hand having the vehicle professionally detailed can take the hassle out of it for you. Typically, they can range from a couple of hundred dollars depending on the type of vehicle and the services that you require.
Service and Maintenance
Having your logbook and service records available to the potential buyer will put one of the worst fears to rest. They are concerned that they are buying problems rather than a vehicle that they can enjoy. By showing them the service regularity and any major/minor repairs that have been completed over the life of the vehicle shows that you have looked after the vehicle.
Most buyers will research the type of vehicle that they are looking at purchasing. It is expected that they have Googled what the common problems with the vehicle are on forums and asked other vehicle owners that have had the same make and model.
Showing the potential buyer that this problem has been fixed definitely puts you in the front of the competition.
One of the most common service items that will be asked about is the timing belt replacement. Has it been done? If not, when is it due?
Another common item are the tyres. Are they low, mid-range or high quality tyre. When were they last changed?
Always be honest.
Legal Paperwork
When selling a vehicle that is registered in Queensland you will require a valid Safety Certificate to be able to advertise the vehicle for sale. A Queensland Transport and Main Roads Accredited Examiner at an Approved Inspection Station can complete the inspection.
The inspection is to check that the vehicle meets the minimum safety standard by the Queensland Transport and Main Roads Code of Practice.
Regular servicing and maintenance on your vehicle will increase your success rate of passing the first inspection. If there are repairs required, the Transport Department allows 14 days to have them completed. A second inspection will then take place to complete the Safety Certificate.
You cannot advertise your Queensland registered vehicle for sale without a valid Safety Certificate. Fines do apply.
Selling your vehicle before having this inspection completed is risky. There may be items on the vehicle that make it un-roadworthy. If you have already agreed on a price with a buyer this will then be an expense that you will have to absorb.

Certificate of Inspections for Booked Hire Vehicles
What is a Certificate of Inspection?
A Certificate of Inspection is an annual inspection for all booked hire registered vehicles in Queensland.
Typically booked hire vehicles include:
- Rentals
- Taxi’s
- Limousines
- Special Purpose Limousines
- Uber, Ola etc
All COI inspections for booked hire vehicles are required to be issued through the ICO (Inspection Certificates Online) system.
When do I need a COI?
Plenty of notice is given weeks before the inspection is due.
For instance: A notice is sent from Queensland Transport and Main Roads every 12 months for all booked hire registered vehicles.
It is a reminder to have the inspection prior to the date that the registration is due for payment.
For instance: A notice is sent from Queensland Transport and Main Roads every 12 months for all booked hire registered vehicles.
It is a reminder to have the inspection prior to the date that the registration is due for payment.
Most importantly, your registration renewal cannot be paid if you do not have a valid COI.
In order to pass an inspection your vehicle will need to be roadworthy.
The examiner at the AIS (Approved Inspection Station) must hold the correct accreditation to be able to complete the Certificate of Inspection for your vehicle.
What is checked for a COI?
A Certificate of Inspection is almost identical to a Safety Certificate.
But the difference is how they are processed.
To clarify, a Safety Certificate can be issued through the old paper system if required however a COI can only be issued online.
The brake testing equipment used will load the results onto the Certificate digitally.
In addition to the brake test the following items are checked during a COI Inspection.
- Identification
- Modifications
- Seats & Restraints
- Lights & Electrical Components
- Windscreen & Windows
- Body & Chassis
- Steering & Suspension
- Wheels & Tyres
- Brake Components
- Engines & Drivelines
- Exhaust Emissions
- Road Test
- Service Brake Test
- Hand Brake Test

(ICO) Inspection Certificates Online
Queensland Transport and Main Roads are in the process of releasing a new online system mid 2016 that is going to take Queensland motorist’s steps ahead when transferring and newly registering vehicles.
Currently in the testing stages, Queensland Transport will be releasing the new system to the general public that is going to allow motorists to apply for registrations and transfers of registrations online.
At the moment all documentation is to be presented in person to a Queensland Transport and Main Roads Customer Service Centre.
How does the new system work?
The current system requires for the original Safety Certificate (Blue Copy with the original ink) to be presented in person to Queensland Transport with the signed application/transfer forms.
The new system will have the Safety Certificates electronically and automatically sent to Queensland Transport. This system allows a copy to be emailed to the customer as well. This saves time, money and is kinder to the environment by making the process as paperless as possible.
One the main advantages are eliminating the risk of losing the original copy. Currently, if you lose the original blue copy of the Safety Certificate, even if you have the yellow and green copy, you need to have another inspection conducted from the start again.
There is only one copy that is filed with Queensland Transport.
The other advantage is not waiting at Queensland Transport especially at the just after school run rush. Some Transport Department customer service centres can have a wait of over 30 minutes at peak times.
Helensvale Transport Department indicated that they would serve on an average day approx. 600 to 800 members of the public per day. This is a lot of resources and time by all persons involved.
This new system will assist members of the public that have the unfortunate experience of a buyer that does not transfer the vehicle from the seller’s name to the new owner’s details.
If you do not keep a copy of the Safety Certificate in the current system then you will need to contact the Approved Inspection Station that issued the Safety Certificate for a copy. The copy that is left in their books is the fourth duplicate and can be at times hard to read/photocopy. There are times where a photo of the Safety Certificate is the only option that then needs to be taken again into the Queensland Transport and Main Roads to be moved to the current owners name.
In the new system, the Transport Department will be able to access the Safety Certificate easily and it saves all parties involved running around and calling various companies to locate the copy.
M1 Safety Certificates will be offering this service to all customers for both Safety Certificates and Certificate of Inspections for Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
The team at M1 Safety Certificates are excited about the new system and the increased convenience that it will provide their customers.

How to restore your headlights
Over time headlights lenses can become dull and discoloured. This affects the ability for light to beam through and becomes a major safety issue when driving at night.
It not only leaves the driver with poor vision of the road ahead but also makes the vehicle become harder for other vehicles to see especially in bad weather.
Vision of the road and the sides of the road is essential when driving especially in remote and country roads where wildlife is on the roadside and crossing at night.
There is no need to pay for a full replacement of the headlight lens. There are kits that can be purchased to restore the headlights and the results can be dramatic.
The kit will include:
- Lens polish
- Buffing pad
- Sanding pad
