Certificate of Inspections
Vehicles requiring a Certificate of Inspection (COI) in Queensland include heavy vehicles, licensed tow trucks, buses, taxis, limousines and booked hire vehicles.
These vehicles need annual inspections to ensure they meet minimum safety standards.
A COI is issued once the vehicle successfully passes the inspection and owners of registered COI vehicles must maintain a current COI at all times, unless exempt.
Without a valid COI, you cannot renew your vehicle’s registration, therefore, it’s important to plan ahead, check your vehicle for defects and book an inspection and have the inspection completed before the COI expires.
To facilitate a thorough inspection, the vehicle must be clean and free of excessive grease, allowing all components to be properly examined.
Our prices are regulated by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. So, for great value vehicle inspections, contact SafeT Cert today! Call 0499 773 842.
