Motorbike Roadworthy Inspection and Certificate

Whether you’re upgrading your hog or hanging up the boots, a motorbike roadworthy inspection is not only a good idea when selling, in some states it is a legal requirement. A thorough inspection ensures that the bike is safe to ride and meets legal requirements for your State or Territory. At mycar stores in NSW, we provide a comprehensive roadworthy check to help you get your ride ready for sale.

Does your motorbike need a roadworthy?

When you’re planning on selling on a motorbike intended for riding (as opposed to a show-only collectors item or for parts) a roadworthy certificate can help boost buyer confidence and increase the likelihood of a sale - it provides a certain level of protection for both buyer and seller. Depending on where you live, you may be required to hold a current (within thirty days of sale or transfer) roadworthy or safety certificate in order to complete the transfer from old to new owner.

Each State and Territory in Australia has different inspection requirements when selling a motorbike or transferring registration details to a new owner. We’ve gathered a bullet point per state, but be sure to check with your local transport authority for more detailed information:

  • Queensland and Victoria require a certificate of roadworthiness to be presented before vehicle registration can be transferred from one person to the next
  • In the ACT, a motorbike RWC is required for vehicles over six years old
  • NSW does not require a RWC, but vehicles over five years old need to have an annual safety inspection undertaken before registration can be renewed, mycar stores can provide a Motorbike RWC
  • Western Australia and Tasmania do not require a RWC
  • In the NT, you can sell a motorbike less than three years old without a roadworthy certificate, but you will need to obtain a compliance certificate.

What will we check during a motorbike RWC?

Our qualified and authorised motorcycle roadworthy specialists in NSW will carry out a state compliant safety inspection, followed by a detailed report noting any faults or issues that may need to be repaired before a roadworthy or safety certificate can be issued. This generally takes about 45 minutes. Some of the things we check include:

  • Engine
  • Transmission
  • Brakes
  • Steering
  • Tyres
  • Body damage and rust
  • Suspension
  • Exhaust
  • Lights
  • Windscreen

How much does a motorbike roadworthy cost?
