If you’re renewing registration, transferring ownership or re-registering an unregistered vehicle in NSW, a roadworthy certificate, also known as a pink slip, is a must.
At Steve’s Service Centre in Albury, we carry out licensed safety inspections (MVRL49046) for all vehicle types, including cars, trailers, motorbikes and light commercial vehicles. These inspections confirm your vehicle is safe to be on the road and meet the requirements set by Transport for NSW. For vehicles over five years old, an annual safety check is required before registration can be renewed.
While a pink slip isn’t legally required to sell a registered vehicle, many sellers still choose to provide one to give buyers confidence and avoid rego delays. Our team delivers clear, thorough inspections and walks you through any needed repairs.
To book your roadworthy check, call 02 6043 1448 and we’ll make sure everything’s good to go.

We Provide Reliable Safety Inspections
Roadworthy inspections aren’t just about ticking a box for rego, they’re designed to catch safety issues that could put you or others at risk. Every check covers vital systems like brakes, tyres, steering, suspension and lighting, along with visibility, seatbelts and fluid leaks.
It’s a detailed process that helps ensure the vehicle is genuinely safe to drive on NSW roads.
Even if your vehicle feels fine, unseen problems like worn brake pads, uneven tyre wear or corroded steering components can be flagged during an inspection.
That’s why having the right team behind the checklist makes a difference. Safety comes first, and early detection gives you time to repair problems properly before they impact roadworthiness or performance.
FAQ
What is checked in a roadworthy certificate inspection?
NSW roadworthy inspections check essential safety systems, including brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, seatbelts and mirrors. The goal is to confirm the vehicle is safe for public roads and meets legal requirements for registration or transfer.
How long is a roadworthy certificate valid in NSW?
Once issued, a NSW roadworthy certificate (also called a safety check or pink slip) is valid for 42 days. This means the vehicle must be registered or transferred within that period for the certificate to remain valid.
Can a car fail a roadworthy if it seems fine?
Yes. Even well-running vehicles can fail if tyres are worn below the legal limit, seatbelts are frayed, or suspension components show excessive wear. The inspection focuses on safety and compliance, not just performance.
