What is the difference between a safety inspection and a written-off vehicle inspection?
A safety inspection confirms the vehicle is roadworthy—this is decided by specific test criteria to measure roadworthiness. The written-off vehicle inspection is a thorough and detailed analysis of the identity and history of the vehicle to ensure its identity is legitimate. The inspection includes an analysis of the vehicle’s history and repair documents. If there is any doubt or inconsistencies with the vehicle’s identity, history or documentation, the vehicles are referred to the Queensland Police Service for further inspection. The Queensland Police Service may undertake a detailed forensic inspection on the vehicle to confirm its legitimate identity.
