In Queensland, the roadworthy is called a Safety Certificate, and its clock is delightfully unforgiving.
For a private seller, it lasts 2 months or 2,000 km, whichever comes first; for a licensed dealer, it’s 3 months or 1,000 km, again whichever comes first.
It must be current at the time of sale/transfer (or re‑registration), so no, you can’t tuck it away and hope it ages like a fine Shiraz.
If it expires, you’ll need a fresh inspection before the vehicle changes hands—rules are rules, even north of the Tweed.
