In Queensland, the “inspection certificate” is a Safety Certificate (the old roadworthy), and you need one before you offer a registered vehicle for sale or when re-registering. It’s issued by an Approved Inspection Station and covers basics like tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen and body condition—it’s about being safe, not showroom perfect. The certificate is only valid for a short period and limited kilometres, with different limits for private sellers and dealers. You’re meant to display it when advertising; yes, even in that blurry driveway photo. It doesn’t guarantee the car is fault-free, so a proper pre-purchase inspection is still smart.
