All used cars must display a Safety Certificate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 20, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that when selling a registered vehicle you must<\/strong> obtain and display a Safety Certificate?<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Police are reminding local residents that Safety Certificates are designed to offer buyers protection and assurance that newly registered vehicles are safe.<\/p>\n

Sellers must obtain and\u00a0display\u00a0a safety certificate on any registered light vehicle from the moment it goes on sale. \u00a0Failure\u00a0to do so may incur a $500 fine.<\/p>\n

The Safety Certificate replaced the Roadworthy Certificate in 1999 and covers basic things that could affect the safe operation of a vehicle such as tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, body rust or damage, windscreen and lights.<\/p>\n

But can vehicles be sold without a safety certificate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only time that vehicles offered for sale do not require a certificate is when they are unregistered or when they are traded to, or between,\u00a0licensed motor dealers.<\/p>\n

Vehicles can still be sold for parts or restoration, however they must be de-registered before being offered for sale.<\/p>\n

For more information contact the Department of Transport and Main Roads on 13-23-80 or visit their website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
