In Australia, a vehicle roadworthy certificate is the inspector’s thumbs-up that your car isn’t a rolling hazard, not a guarantee it’s pristine.
It’s usually required when selling or registering a used vehicle, and the name varies by state—think VIC Roadworthy Certificate, QLD Safety Certificate, and NSW eSafety ("pink slip").
Inspectors check essentials like brakes, tyres, lights, windscreen, steering, suspension and leaks—basically, the bits that keep you out of the hedge.
Budget for the inspection fee plus any repairs to pass, and note the certificate is only valid for a short window.
If you want deeper peace of mind, get a separate pre-purchase inspection; roadworthy isn’t a full mechanical autopsy.
