The vehicle must have been manufactured after the 1st of January 1989
The vehicle must not be privately imported or an imported version of a domestically sold item
The vehicle must be Australian delivered and/or manufactured for domestic sales in Australia
After your pre-purchase inspection a written copy of the report will be provided along with a comprehensive PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register) report. The PPSR report will provide you with current information such as any reported, stolen, write-off and security (or insurance interest) state of the vehicle.

COI
Certificate Of Inspection
You need a COI for transferring registration or re-registering an unregistered heavy vehicle. We can provide a COI certificate for not Queensland registered without any weight restriction.
Queensland’s COI scheme is a periodic or programmed inspection scheme for trucks, heavy trailers and public passenger transport vehicles (such as buses or taxis). Owners of registered COI vehicles must have a current COI at all times.
You need to know the purpose of use and the gross vehicle mass (GVM) or aggregate trailer mass (ATM) to work out the COI requirements for your vehicle. For buses, you will also need to know the registered seating capacity. The purpose of use listed on a vehicle’s registration describes how it is allowed to be used.
