Heavy Vehicle Inspection Scheme (HVIS) – change of ownership inspections :
** The Heavy Vehicle Inspection Scheme (HVIS) requires a vehicle inspection upon change of ownership for all vehicles and trailers with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) or aggregate trailer mass (ATM) over 4.5 tonnes that are three years or older from date of manufacture.

** This includes vehicles in the maintenance module of the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme, but excludes buses that already undergo an annual inspection and special purpose vehicles such as tractors, agricultural and road making equipment.
** A passed inspection is valid for three calendar months from the time of inspection.

The aim of the HVIS is to confirm the heavy vehicle, at change of ownership :
** complies with Heavy Vehicle National Law
** does not constitute a safety risk on our roads
** complies with regulated design, construction and maintenance requirements.

Components that will be inspected include :
** vehicle identification
** brakes
** couplings
** steering and suspension
** wheels, tyres and hubs
** structure and body condition
** seats and seatbelts
** lights and reflectors
** mirrors
** windscreens and windows
** engine, driveline and exhaust

** The above is not a comprehensive list of what will be checked. For additional information regarding the standards your vehicle will be assessed to, refer to the national heavy vehicle inspection manual on the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator website.
** Inspections should take no longer than one hour.

** The responsibility and cost to have the vehicle inspected and passed ultimately rests with the new owner, as they will not be able to register or transfer registration into their name until the vehicle has passed an inspection.

** When buying a heavy vehicle or trailer (over 4.5 tonnes), of three years of age or older, you should consider that if you buy a vehicle that has not passed an inspection within the last three months, it may cost you more to have the vehicle inspected, repaired and passed.
