Frequently Asked Questions
What does a safety certificate inspection include?
A safety certificate inspection covers all essential safety-related parts of your vehicle. This includes the brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, windscreen, seatbelts and steering system. Inspectors also check for oil leaks, rust in structural areas and general vehicle condition. The test isn’t as detailed as a full mechanical check, but it ensures the vehicle is roadworthy. If your vehicle fails, you’ll receive a list of issues to fix before re-inspection. It’s a good idea to have the vehicle checked over by a mechanic before booking the inspection to avoid delays or unexpected repair costs.
How long does a safety certificate inspection take?
A standard safety certificate inspection usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your vehicle's condition and type. If everything is in good shape, it can be issued on the spot. However, if faults are found, repairs will be required before the certificate can be issued. For older vehicles or those with visible wear and tear, the inspection may take slightly longer as the mechanic checks more thoroughly. Booking ahead ensures your spot and helps you avoid last-minute delays, especially if you're preparing to sell or transfer the vehicle.
What happens if my vehicle fails the inspection?
If your vehicle doesn’t pass the safety certificate inspection, the inspector will issue a rejection report listing the faults that need fixing. You’ll then have 14 days to carry out the repairs and return for a free re-inspection. If you miss this window, a new inspection and fee will apply. It’s a good idea to address any known issues beforehand to avoid failing. If you're unsure whether your car is ready, a quick check by a qualified mechanic can help you catch minor problems early and save time during the official inspection.
