Free Victoria ATV Bill of Sale
Victoria moved earlier and harder than most on quad-bike safety, and that history shapes what a Victorian buyer wants to know: not just how old the machine is, but whether it has an operator protection device, whether it has been modified, and what it has actually been used for. The bill of sale is a private contract — nothing registers the transfer of a farm quad — so everything the buyer will ever know about this machine has to be written on that one page.

Victoria ATV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Stamp duty on motorcycles in Victoria is calculated at $8.40 per $200 of market value (same rate as cars for values up to $68,740). Most private motorcycle sales fall well under the $68,740 threshold. A $10,000 motorcycle: ceil(10,000/200) × $8.40 = 50 × $8.40 = $420.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is required for the buyer to transfer motorcycle registration in Victoria. The RWC is valid for 30 days. Licensed Vehicle Testers who are authorised for motorcycles must conduct the inspection.
Victoria ATV Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Identify the machine: make, model, year, engine capacity, VIN or frame serial number.
- Record the hour meter reading, which measures a quad's life far better than its age.
- State whether an operator protection device is fitted — Victorian buyers ask this first.
- Disclose all modifications: tyres, racks, spray gear, suspension changes. They affect handling and value.
- Describe the use honestly: property work, spraying, recreation.
- Run the PPSR check (~$2) and write an explicit as-is declaration.
- Both parties sign and keep copies — nothing else records this sale.
Common Pitfalls
- Omitting the operator protection question on a machine sold in the state that pushed hardest on quad safety.
- Failing to disclose modifications that change the machine's handling.
- Skipping the hour meter.
- Assuming the buyer can verify anything independently — nothing registers a farm quad transfer.
Pro Tip
Victoria asks safety questions first. Answer them on the page — protection device, modifications, hours, real use — and the sale stands up.
