What’s Involved in a Rego Check?
A rego check, or pink slip inspection, is a roadworthiness test required by Service NSW when renewing registration for vehicles more than five years old. The inspection covers key safety areas including tyres, brakes, steering, lights, wipers, suspension, seatbelts and body condition. If any part of the vehicle does not meet safety standards, repairs must be made before registration can be renewed.
The inspection usually takes less than an hour and, once passed, the results are uploaded directly to the system. This makes it easy to complete your rego renewal without needing paperwork or a second visit. If something needs attention, we’ll explain what’s involved and help you get back on the road safely. Regular checks are a good opportunity to stay on top of minor issues before they become serious. For a fast, reliable rego check that meets all NSW road rules, give us a call and we’ll book you in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rego check?
A rego check, also called an eSafety check or pink slip, is a safety inspection required for vehicles older than five years before registration can be renewed in New South Wales. The inspection confirms that your vehicle meets the minimum road safety standards. Once passed, the results are sent electronically to Service NSW so you can complete your rego.
What happens if my car fails the rego check?
If your vehicle fails, you’ll receive a report detailing the items that didn’t meet safety standards. You then have 14 days to carry out repairs and return for a free follow-up inspection. If the repairs are not completed within that time, a new inspection and fee will apply. Keeping your vehicle regularly serviced can help avoid surprises during the check.
Can any mechanic do a rego check?
No, only authorised inspection stations can carry out eSafety checks. These workshops are licensed by Transport for NSW to complete and lodge pink slip reports. Before booking, it’s important to make sure your chosen workshop is approved. At an authorised station, the results are uploaded directly to Service NSW for a smoother registration process.
