eSafety Checks
An eSafety check — commonly known as a pink slip — is a mandatory inspection required for vehicles over five years old before registration renewal in NSW. It ensures your vehicle meets all road safety and emissions standards. During the check, mechanics inspect critical systems such as brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, steering and leaks. Once passed, the report is sent electronically to Service NSW, allowing for fast online renewal. Regular eSafety checks not only meet legal requirements but also give drivers peace of mind knowing their car is safe and compliant.
Pre-Registration Inspections
Pre-registration inspections are essential for identifying potential safety issues before you submit your registration renewal. They include a detailed review of your vehicle’s key systems, including brakes, tyres, exhaust, and steering. This proactive step prevents delays, fines or failed registration attempts. Mechanics check for worn parts, fluid leaks and proper functionality of safety features like lights and seatbelts. If issues are found, repairs can be made before lodging your renewal. These inspections also help extend your vehicle’s lifespan and keep you and your passengers safe on the road.
Pink Slip Issuing
After completing an eSafety check, a pink slip is issued to confirm your vehicle’s roadworthiness. The result is uploaded instantly to Service NSW, eliminating paperwork and long wait times. If your vehicle passes, you can renew registration online straight away. If repairs are needed, you have 14 days to complete them and return for a free reinspection. Pink slips apply to light vehicles over five years old, including cars, 4WDs, and trailers. It’s a simple process designed to ensure safer roads and prevent unfit vehicles from being driven.
Light Vehicle & 4WD Eligible
Most light vehicles and 4WDs in NSW require an annual eSafety check once they’re over five years old. These vehicles must meet strict safety and emissions standards to remain road legal. Eligibility includes cars, SUVs, utilities and certain small trucks. During the inspection, mechanics check tyres, brakes, steering, lighting, suspension and exhaust systems to confirm they meet Transport for NSW guidelines. Ensuring your 4WD or light vehicle passes its annual inspection helps prevent breakdowns and fines while keeping you and other road users safe.

What happens if my car fails the pink slip inspection?
