A roadworthy certificate is essential for verifying that your vehicle is safe for road use. It’s a mandatory requirement when selling a registered light vehicle, transferring registration, moving to Queensland registration from another state or re-registering an unregistered vehicle. This certification process is crucial for maintaining road safety standards and ensuring that all vehicles meet the necessary conditions to operate safely on the road.

The validity of a roadworthy certificate can vary based on its intended use. For instance, when selling a vehicle, the certificate must be current at the time of sale. We recommend checking the specific validity requirements relevant to your situation to ensure compliance.

Clutch issues often manifest as a burning smell, high RPMs without acceleration, slipping, quick disengagement and hesitation before acceleration. These problems can compromise your vehicle’s safety and performance.

You’ll notice signs like unusual noises (grinding or squealing), changes in pedal feel (stiffness or sponginess), difficulty shifting gears or vehicle hesitation. These indicators suggest it’s time for servicing. At Spencey’s Auto Repairs & Engine Reconditioning, we recommend regular checks to ensure these critical components function correctly, safeguard your safety and ensure your vehicle’s reliability.
