• A brand new vehicle being registered for the first time
• At transfer of ownership if the vehicle is more than six years old
• If it is being transferred from another state - regardless of age
• If it has been unregistered for longer than 12 months
• If the vehicle has received a defect notice.
• All vehicles powered by LPG require annual inspections.

Once registered, a vehicle in Canberra will rarely need an inspection if it doesn't change owners and stays registered - however the ACT has a random inspection scheme which means at any time, in any road related area (including car parks) a vehicle can be subjected to a visual inspection.

If any faults or defects are identified in the course of such an inspection, then a notice is issued and the use of the vehicle could be restricted until a Roadworthy Inspection is performed and the vehicle is cleared of faults.

If you have a vehicle which requires registration, you are planning to sell or buy a car, or if you just want peace of mind that your car is fully roadworthy and safe to drive, get a City Car Care Braddon Roadworthy Inspection today and ensure your vehicle is safe and compliant.
