What Is a Pink Slip and Why Do You Need One?
A pink slip is a vehicle safety inspection that is required by law to
register your car in Australia. It’s an official certification that verifies your vehicle is safe to drive and meets the legal roadworthy standards. Without a valid pink slip, you won’t be able to renew your vehicle’s registration. The inspection covers various safety components of your car, including brakes, tyres, lights, suspension and more. If your car passes the inspection, you’ll receive the pink slip needed for registration.
HOW DO PINK SLIP INSPECTIONS WORK?
Most vehicles that are more than five years old are legally required to have a pink slip (eSafety) inspection report before they can be registered in New South Wales.
We will check a range of common issues with older vehicles, including vehicle body condition, tyre quality and tread depth, seatbelt condition, engine fluid leaks, vehicle electrics, brake efficiency and more.
If your vehicle passes the test you can then renew your vehicle registration. Our detailed inspections will ensure that you are driving a safe and reliable vehicle while also meeting the legal requirements for your vehicle’s registration in New South Wales.
HOW LONG DO PINK SLIPS LAST?
Once your vehicle has passed its eSafety inspection, your pink slip is valid for 42 days.
You'll need to register your vehicle with the New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services authority within 42 days of the date of issue of your pink slip.
You can carry out a pink slip inspection up to six months prior to the expiration date of your vehicle registration. This is especially helpful if you know that your registration is approaching its expiry date and would like to get the inspection done in advance. Completing the pink slip inspection early allows you to address any issues well before the registration deadline, giving you peace of mind.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS A PINK SLIP INSPECTION?
If your vehicle fails its pink slip inspection in New South Wales, we will issue a Repairs Needed report and after this, you will have 14 days to complete the repairs.
At K & T Mechanical, we can provide affordable and prompt repairs for your vehicle, but if you wait too long (more than two weeks), you will need to have a new pink slip check.
After we have completed the repairs, we will carry out a follow-up check and once the vehicle has passed, we will send the report to Transport for NSW electronically, ensuring that everything is recorded correctly for your vehicle’s registration. This streamlined process helps keep everything organised, allowing you to proceed with the registration process without further delays.

Common Vehicle Issues Identified During a Pink Slip Inspection
A pink slip inspection covers a variety of essential safety aspects of your car. Here are some of the most common issues we find during an inspection that could cause your car to fail:
Brakes and Suspension
Your car’s brakes and suspension are two of the most important safety features. Our mechanics will inspect your brake pads, brake fluid levels and the condition of your suspension system. Worn-out brakes or faulty suspension can lead to poor handling or even accidents, so ensuring these systems are in top condition is crucial.
Tyres and Lights
Worn-out tyres and faulty lights are common issues that can result in a failed pink slip inspection. We check your tyres for tread depth and wear, and we inspect all lights, including headlights, tail lights and brake lights, to ensure they’re working properly. Poorly maintained tyres and lights are a safety hazard and fixing them will keep you safe on the road.
