Caravan, Trailer & Motorcycle Safety Certificates Brisbane

Selling a caravan, trailer or motorbike? They need a safety certificate too, and we come to you. Mobile Mechanic Brisbane inspects and issues safety certificates for caravans, trailers and motorcycles across Brisbane, at your place. No towing it to a workshop or riding across town.

It's not only cars that need a certificate to sell or transfer in Queensland. Trailers and caravans within a certain weight range, and motorcycles, need one as well. We handle those inspections where the vehicle is parked.

Do caravans and trailers need a safety certificate in QLD? Yes. Trailers and caravans with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) between 750 kg and 3.5 t, along with motorcycles, need a safety certificate to be sold, transferred or re-registered in Queensland, the same as cars.

Caravans and trailers

Trailers and caravans with an ATM from 750 kg up to 3.5 t need a safety certificate to sell, transfer or re-register. We check the safety items that matter on a towed unit, including the brakes, coupling, lights, tyres and structure. Because we come to you, there's no towing the van across Brisbane just for an inspection.

Very light trailers under 750 kg ATM are treated differently, ask us if you're not sure where yours sits.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles need a safety certificate to sell or transfer, just like a car. We inspect the bike's brakes, tyres, lights, steering and general condition against the standard, and issue the certificate on site if it passes.

What if it doesn't pass?

We give you the list of what needs attention. For trailers and caravans in particular, small items like lights or worn tyres are common and easy to sort. Once fixed, we re-inspect.

Why book us

We come to the van, trailer or bike, so there's no towing or riding across town.
