Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a vehicle inspection include?

    A full inspection checks essential safety and mechanical components. This includes brakes, tyres, suspension, steering, lights, fluid levels, battery health, and general engine condition. It helps ensure the car is roadworthy and reliable, whether you're buying, selling, or renewing your rego.

  • Do I need a vehicle inspection to renew registration?

    In NSW, certain vehicles—particularly older ones—require a safety inspection (also known as a pink slip) to renew registration. This confirms the vehicle meets the necessary road safety standards before you can complete the rego process.

  • Should I get a pre-purchase inspection before buying a used car?

    Absolutely. A pre-purchase inspection helps uncover any hidden issues with a vehicle before you commit. It gives you a better understanding of the car’s condition, potential repair costs, and whether it’s worth the asking price.
