Truck & Caravan inspections

We live in Victoria - no annual inspecvtions and registration fee for Bushtracker is about $35!

The Victorian registration for my F250 is $495, don't know how that compares with yours.
When I changed the Bushtracker over to Vic registration, just had to walk in with the papers, pay for new plates and a small processing fee and it was done. No inspections.

Paul,

My little 1250cc Motor Scooter cost $450 for registration this year. I hate to think what the F250 will be when it is due soon. It was $800+ last year before dear Anna Bligh increased registration fees and took the fuel subsidy off in Queensland.

That must be some Motor Scooter 1250cc Brian

Harry,

Usually a 0 is not very much but when you accidentally put it after a 125cc it makes a lot a difference.

It is in fact only a 125cc.

Hi Michael
Did I understand you correctly? You have had interstate inspections for your F250 in 3 different States for your NSW rego? Wow that would be good.
Cheers

Michael,

I think that once you have a gross weight over 3,5 tonnes then they require an annual inspection. As ours and probably yours has a 3.5 tonne gross we do not require the inspections.

When I took one of our cars down to Victoria I wanted to leave it registered in my name so that we didn't have to pay any transfer fees into my son's name. The RTA made us prove that we had a connection with the property that the vehicle was being registered to so my son had to make statutory declarations.

If I was a person with no permanent home, I would definitely be opting to have the vehicle and caravan registered in Victoria. The Victorian registration is far cheaper than most states and the Compulsory third party that come with the registration is run by the Transport Accident Commission that is also cheaper and provides a far superior cover to the other states.
