Certificate of Inspection
Certificate of Inspection (COI) vehicles (such as heavy vehicles, licensed tow trucks, buses, taxis, limousines and booked hire vehicles) registered in Auto Mechanical & AC may need to have a periodic or programmed inspection to check minimum vehicle safety standards. A COI is issued when the vehicle passes the inspection.
Owners of registered COI vehicles must have a current COI at all times, unless exempt. You will not be able to renew your registration until you have a current COI, so it pays to plan to have your vehicle checked for defects and book the inspection before the expiry date.
The vehicle must be presented in a clean condition and free of excessive grease to ensure the components can be inspected.
The vehicle should be checked for defects and have any necessary repairs completed before presentation for a COI to prevent the need for a re-inspection.
COI vehicles
Depending on your vehicle type, a COI can be obtained from either a Transport and Main Roads inspection centre or an approved inspection station accredited by Transport and Main Roads.
