Not QLD.  Only required when selling a vehicle.  And then expires after 3 months of failing to sell so has to be redone.

Not in SA either.

Inspections have been proposed by the Motor Traders (only ones to benefit) in the past but successive state govts have knocked it on the head. Such a small percentage of accidents are caused by defects to vehicles so they can't see the justification...........yet.

We can't sell a vehicle unless it's roadworthy but then no inspection is required either.

No bike places near here to get one so you go to the local car mechanic who says " Is it all ok" Yep so they issue the pink slip after you fork over $23. It gets registered within a half hr electronically with the roads mob so you can pay your rego online

Same here in the city Tony - local mechanic does it by sight (he looks out the window at it).

Weird, ain't it?  The RWC on a vehicle for sale in Qld is quite thorough.  They snagged under-thickness rotors and smooth peg rubbers on my ST1100.  However none is required if you're trading in.
