Introduction

If you need to change or cancel your heavy vehicle inspection booking, you can do this online, by phone or at a Service NSW Centre.

Vehicle inspections

The inspection must be carried out in the 3-month period before the renewal date, otherwise your registration may be suspended or cancelled. The results of an inspection are valid for 3 months only, so consider this when changing or cancelling your booking.

A heavy vehicle inspection is conducted annually on heavy vehicles registered in NSW (some exemptions apply).

Usually an inspection is carried out as part of the registration renewal process. If this is the case, you'll receive a renewal notification with the date your registration renewal must be completed by.

Bookings must be made at least 24 hours before an inspection.
