Pink Slip – Keep Your Vehicle Roadworthy and Registration-Ready
When it’s time to renew your vehicle’s registration in New South Wales, a pink slip—also known as an eSafety Check—is a vital requirement. At Cromer Automotive, we make getting your pink slip simple and hassle-free, so you can stay safe and compliant on the road.
What’s a Pink Slip, and Who Needs One?
A pink slip is a mandatory safety inspection for standard vehicles in NSW that are older than five years. It confirms your car meets minimum safety standards—making it essential for renewing registration. Vehicles newer than five years or recently registered may be exempt from needing a pink slip.
What the Inspection Covers
During the pink slip eSafety Check, a licensed technician inspects crucial safety components, including:
Braking system: pads, discs, parking brake
Suspension & steering: shocks, tie rods, ball joints
Tyres & wheels: tread, condition, balancing
Exterior lighting & signals: headlights, brake lights, indicators
Seatbelts & interior safety: functionality, anchor points
Engine & fluid leaks: checking under the bonnet for issues
Windscreen & wipers: visibility, blade condition, functionality
Structural integrity: body mounts, chassis, rust
Any items that fail must be fixed within 14 days to get a free recheck at the same station. A pass clears your path to registration renewal.
Validity & When to Book
Once you pass the pink slip inspection, it remains valid for 42 days—so you have plenty of time to complete your registration. Getting the inspection done up to six months before your registration expiry is a smart and strategic move to avoid last-minute hassles.
