Selling a vehicle in New South Wales
NSW does not require a roadworthy certificate for private vehicle sales — the buyer takes the vehicle as is. A PPSR check is strongly recommended before purchasing. Always verify current requirements with NSW Roads & Infrastructure (Roads and Maritime Services) as rules can change.

How to sell a 4WD in Sydney
Document all modifications with receipts
Buyers value provenance. Show receipts and installation records for lift kits, bull bars, snorkels and accessories. Engineering certificates are essential for significant lifts.
Get an underbody inspection
A professional underbody assessment documents the condition of chassis, diffs, axles and suspension — critical for a 4WD that has been used off-road.
Target serious buyers on GOT ONE?
Respond to buyer requests specifying your exact model. Buyers on GOT ONE? are verified and have already done their research.
Be transparent about off-road use
Describe honestly where the vehicle has been used. Beach driving is different to mine site work. Buyers factor this into their offer.
Transfer with full modification documentation
Provide all engineering certificates, modification receipts and a PPSR clearance at settlement.
