Check out the new look defect notices
New look defect notices are rolling out as part of Transport for NSW’s (Transport) move to a digital system. While some areas will continue using older formats, all notices, whether new or existing, remain valid and must be accepted by examiners.
As part of this move, you may see defect notices with updated branding.
The move to a more digital defect notice system allows for greater consistency, improved data integrity, and more space to clearly detail the reasons for a defect - supporting better compliance and record keeping.
Some areas of Transport, as well as NSW Police, will continue using their existing defect notice books. This means examiners may come across at least three different formats of defect notices - the new notice, the current paper notice and the Police notice.
Examiners should continue to treat all formats as valid.
The red and yellow defective vehicle labels have also been refreshed with current branding.
