Rego Inspections in Wauchope
Road safety is important for all Australian vehicles. At BDM Heavy Vehicle Repairs, we perform annual rego safety inspections at our workshop in Wauchope. Residents from Wauchope, Taree, Kempsey, Port Macquarie and beyond come annually to renew their light and heavy vehicle safety certificates.
Annual Rego Inspections
Your motor vehicle registration is renewed annually in New South Wales. For all light and heavy vehicles older than 5 years from the date of manufacture, safety inspections are required before registration can be renewed. Your annual rego inspections can be done by BDM Heavy Vehicle Repairs.
We inspect heavy vehicles including, trucks, semis and buses. We also inspect light vehicles. Once the inspection is done, you’ll be provided with a road safety certificate for passing, allowing you to renew your vehicle registration.
Appointments for rego inspections can be made months in advance. Just call us and set up your appointment for an inspection now. We take inspection appointments all year round, up to 6 months in advance of your registration expiration.

Caravan Inspections
Just like heavy vehicles, caravans need road safety inspections before renewing their registration annually. Road safety certificates for caravans are not exactly the same as heavy and light vehicles, so a specialised caravan inspection centre is needed.
We are an authorised inspection site for caravans. Bring caravans of all types to our shop for inspections and safety certification before renewing your registration.
Crane Inspections
Industrial and plant cranes can be inspected by our mechanics. We’re an authorised crane inspection service. We will perform an inspection on your mobile cranes to allow for registration renewal annually.
Inspection Standards
National standards for inspections are released for all types of vehicles. There is a national checklist that closely links to the criteria outlined by the New South Wales governing authority. Safety inspections look at every safety feature included on a vehicle—from the brakes to airbags and dash lights.
Our job is to make sure your vehicle meets the specific safety and roadworthy standards put in place for vehicles in its class.
Defect Notice Clearance
If your vehicle fails an inspection, you have 14 days to fix the problems identified. We can help you with fixing safety concerns and clearing the defect notice in order to get your safety certificate.
You don’t have to have your vehicle inspected with us to bring it to our shop for repairs. We’ll clear up any issues discovered by an inspection at another workshop. If you have it inspected with us initially, you can choose to repair while it’s with us and the second re-inspection won’t cost you anything. Once it’s fixed and re-inspected, your road safety certificate can be issued for registration renewal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are rego inspections required for heavy vehicles?
In NSW, heavy vehicles with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of over 4.5 tonnes must undergo an annual rego inspection to ensure they remain roadworthy and compliant. The inspection is required every year when renewing registration. Additionally, if a heavy vehicle is sold, defected or modified, a new inspection may be required to clear any notices or update compliance records.
What happens if my vehicle fails a rego inspection?
If your vehicle fails a rego inspection, the authorised inspection station will provide a detailed report outlining the issues that need to be fixed. You will need to have the required repairs completed before the vehicle can be re-inspected. Once the repairs are done and your vehicle meets safety standards, the inspection centre can issue a roadworthy certificate and clear any associated defect notices. It’s important not to drive an unroadworthy vehicle on public roads until the inspection is passed.
Can I get a rego inspection for a caravan or crane?
Yes, caravans, cranes and other registered heavy vehicles are subject to the same safety and compliance requirements as trucks and buses. Authorised inspection stations can carry out inspections for these vehicles, ensuring they meet all road safety standards. The inspection process includes checking structural integrity, brakes, tyres, lights, and other essential safety systems. Once the vehicle passes inspection, a roadworthy certificate is issued, allowing registration renewal or defect clearance.
