Common Reasons Vehicles Fail a Roadworthy Inspection

Many vehicles fail for relatively minor issues that could be addressed beforehand. Identifying these early can save time and prevent reinspection delays.

Common issues include:

  • worn tyres below legal tread limits
  • brake components needing replacement
  • faulty lights or electrical faults
  • oil leaks or fluid-related concerns
  • damaged windscreens or visibility issues

Electrical faults are a frequent cause of failure and can often be further assessed through auto electrical testing in Caloundra if required.

Mobile Safety Certificate Car Inspection FAQs

Do I need a safety certificate to sell my car in Queensland?

Yes, most registered vehicles require a valid safety certificate before being sold. It must be provided to the buyer.

How long is a safety certificate valid for?

For private sellers, it is valid for 2 months or 2,000km, whichever comes first.

What happens if my car fails inspection?

A failed certificate will be issued, and we will discuss all concerns with you. TIn Queensland, you  have 14 days to fix your car after a failed safety certificate (roadworthy) inspection to avoid paying for a full new inspection. The vehicle must be re-inspected within this period to verify repairs.

Can you inspect a car at the seller’s home or dealership?

Yes, inspections are carried out at the seller’s location, whether private or dealership.

Is a safety certificate a full mechanical inspection?

No, it only checks key safety related items as outlined by the Queensland Transport dept. It does not cover a full mechanical condition of the vehicle.

Do you service the Sunshine Coast for mobile safety certificate inspections?

Yes, services cover all Sunshine Coast suburbs including Maroochydore, Buderim, and Caloundra.
