Yeah its the worst thing about QLD vehicles because they dont have to be tested every year they seem to let them go & being on the coast dosent help mine was from the Gold coast too but it must have spent most of it's life inland not much rust at all It would be a shame to see that one binned as it has had a lot of work done and a lot of time spent on it & the interior fitout looks quite good it look's fixable you would have to get cheep Cheers Reid

You have to get a Road Worthy Certificate (RWC) or commonly referred to as a 'blue slip' when transferring vehicle registrations for the new registration in your name you must have a RWC for the car to be registered. This invloves a vehicle inspection and test drive, brake test etc

Once you have done that then as long as you don't let the registration lapse you don't need to get another RWC until you sell the vehicle, however the vehicle can be sold without a RWC as long as you state in your advertisement or sale receipt that the vehicle is being sold 'as is' or without RWC.

If you have a registered vehicle and you let the rego run out you have 3 months (i think) to re-register the vehicle.
If you go beyond this 3 months you will need to get a new RWC in order to re-register the vehicle.

With new model vehicles once they are over 3 years old they require a Safety Inspection Report or ‘pink slip’ before they can be re-registered.

I'm not sure if I'm right here - PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, but the way I see it is that if you never let your registration lapse you will never have to worry about getting a RWC... Is this the case?
