FAQ
What is a roadworthy inspection?
A roadworthy inspection checks whether a vehicle meets safety standards required for registration or sale. It covers critical systems like brakes, steering, tyres, suspension, lights, seatbelts, and windscreen condition. If everything passes, the vehicle is issued a roadworthy certificate valid for a set period.
When do I need a roadworthy certificate in Darwin?
You’ll need a roadworthy certificate in Darwin if you’re selling a registered vehicle, transferring ownership, or registering an unregistered vehicle. It may also be required if your registration has lapsed for a certain period. Check with the NT Government for current rules, or ask your local mechanic.
What happens if my vehicle fails the inspection?
If your vehicle fails the roadworthy inspection, you’ll receive a report outlining what needs to be fixed. Once those issues are addressed, you can have the vehicle re-inspected. Most workshops will recheck only the items that failed—often at a reduced cost—if it’s done within the allowed timeframe.
