Why Are Rego Checks Needed in NSW?


Rego checks help confirm that a vehicle meets required safety standards for registration renewal. For many vehicles, a roadworthiness inspection is required each year before registration can be renewed.


Regular inspections can also help identify issues such as worn components, safety defects, or other problems that may affect how your vehicle performs on the road.

What Is Checked During an E-Safety Inspection?


An e-safety check involves inspecting key mechanical, structural and safety-related areas of your vehicle. The inspection may include checks for issues such as suspension defects, oil leaks, and other faults that could affect roadworthiness.

Safety and structural components may also be inspected, including:

  • Brakes and suspension
  • Seatbelts
  • Lights
  • Tyres
  • Body and structural condition
  • Other relevant safety components
