Pink Slip & Car Inspection Services
Driving an Unregistered
Vehicle
Driving an unregistered
vehicle is a serious offence
that can have far-reaching
and catastrophic
consequences. It’s a scary
thought when you think about
what could happen if your
vehicle is unregistered.
Making sure cars are
roadworthy is a big part of
the registration system.
It’s also about protecting
people – every vehicle must
be registered to be covered
by compulsory third party
insurance. This insurance
makes sure that everyone is
covered for personal injury
if someone is hurt in a
crash.
Here’s the rundown on what
the different roadworthiness
inspections, and how to make
sure you’re covered.
Pre-purchase Vehicle
Inspections
This is a fully
comprehensive inspection
report which includes a
complete check of the
vehicle. The inspection
involves a thorough jacked
up examination of all
mechanical components and
also the bodywork, paintwork
and under structure, for
evidence of any damage or
unsatisfactory repair work.
The interior and electrical
components are checked and
the vehicle’s electronic
control unit checked for any
fault codes followed by a
road test. If you are buying
a second hand car and don't
want to be stuck with a
lemon then why not give us a
call today!
Pink Slip Inspection
This is a safety inspection
report that proves your car
is roadworthy. All vehicles
more than three years old
require a safety inspection
as a condition of
registration renewal.
Your
registration renewal notice
will advise you if your
vehicle needs an inspection.
To get the pink slip, you
need to take your vehicle to
an Authorised Inspection
Station (AIS).
E-Safety Check
This is a pink slip that has
been sent to the RTA
electronically. This allows
you to renew your rego
online or by phone. You must
visit an e-Safety Check
Inspection Station to get
your e-Safety Check.
White Slip
The White Slips is an inspection report
rejection slip. It details
the repairs required before
a vehicle can be registered.
Once the repairs are carried
out and you have the vehicle
re-inspected, the vehicle
will receive a pink or blue
slip.
