Safety certificates
Safety certificates are designed to offer buyers better protection. A vehicle with a safety certificate has undergone a basic safety inspection before being offered for sale, so buyers can be sure the vehicle is safe to drive. This means there will be fewer unsafe vehicles on Queensland roads, reducing the likelihood of crashes caused by defective vehicles.
Heavy vehicle modifications
Complex modifications to heavy vehicles and trailers over 4.5 tonnes GVM/ATM (Gross Vehicle Mass/Aggregate Trailer Mass) can be certified by approved persons, providing the modifications have been performed in accordance with the National Code of Practice for Heavy Vehicle Modifications—Vehicle Standards Bulletin 6.
Light vehicle modifications
The motor vehicle modifications booklet provides legal and safety guidelines for people wishing to modify vehicles with a gross mass up to, and including, 4.5 tonnes from the manufacturer's original specifications. The guidelines also include motorbikes.
Written-off vehicles
Queensland Transport is working to reduce the number of stolen and written-off vehicles being fraudulently registered. We have set up three main safeguards to help consumers and businesses protect themselves against purchasing vehicles that have been written-off or stolen.
