Free Tasmania Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale
Tasmanian cars live a particular life — short distances, coastal air, and a vehicle inspected only when the new owner first registers it. That last fact matters for odometer disclosure: nobody inspects the car before the sale, but somebody will inspect it shortly after. A reading that cannot survive that inspection is a reading that will be discovered, just slightly too late to be convenient for the seller who wrote it.

Tasmania Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
The SRO Tasmania's Redbook-based valuation ($3 per $100 duty on the higher of price or market) is mileage-sensitive — the odometer figure feeds directly into the value duty is charged on.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
No pre-sale inspection exists in Tasmania to witness the odometer — nothing official corroborates the reading, which is exactly why the written disclosure with the precise figure matters.
Registration
Registration for this vehicle type is handled by Service Tasmania — separate from the transfer agency.
Tasmania Odometer Disclosure Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Record the exact kilometre figure at handover, with the date.
- Certify in writing that the odometer has not been wound back, altered, or replaced.
- Remember the buyer's vehicle will be inspected at first registration in their name — the number should withstand that.
- Disclose any cluster replacement or odometer failure with the true accumulated distance.
- Enter the VIN alongside the reading.
- Coastal reality: note corrosion honestly beside the mileage — a low-kilometre Tasmanian car can still be a salted one.
- Both parties sign and date it on the day of the sale.
Common Pitfalls
- Writing a reading that will not survive the inspection the buyer faces at first registration.
- Letting a modest odometer figure conceal serious corrosion.
- Rounding the number.
- Concealing a replaced cluster.
Pro Tip
Tasmania inspects the car just after the sale, not before. Write a reading that will still look honest then — and mention the salt.
