Free Western Australia Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale
Western Australia mandates no pre-sale inspection — no roadworthy, no safety certificate, no independent set of eyes on the car before it changes hands. For odometer disclosure that is the whole story: there is no professional record anywhere to check your number against, and no inspector to catch a wound-back reading. The statement you sign is therefore not one piece of evidence among several. It is the only one. That makes an honest WA disclosure worth more, and a dishonest one far more dangerous.

Western Australia Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Mileage moves value, and value moves duty: WA assesses from $2.75 per $100 (to $25,000, graduated above), using market value if the price looks low — an honest odometer supports an honest valuation.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
With no mandatory pre-sale inspection in WA, no official ever reads the odometer before transfer — the disclosure statement and any voluntary buyer inspection are the only checks the reading gets.
Western Australia Odometer Disclosure Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Record the exact kilometre reading at the moment of handover, with the date — nothing else will ever record it.
- Certify in writing that the odometer has not been wound back, altered, or replaced.
- Disclose any cluster replacement or odometer failure with the true accumulated distance.
- Enter the VIN so the reading is tied to a specific vehicle.
- Buyer: with no state inspection, the PPSR check (~$2) and your own mechanic are the only verification that exists — use both.
- Buyer: ask for service records; a logbook is the closest thing to an independent mileage history in WA.
- Both parties sign and date it on the day of the sale.
Common Pitfalls
- Treating "no inspection required" as "nobody will ever check": service records, PPSR data, and a mechanic all leave the tamperer exposed.
- Signing a vague disclosure in the one state where no official record will ever contradict or corroborate it.
- Rounding the figure.
- Buying in WA without a service history — there is no inspection record to fall back on.
Pro Tip
In WA no inspector will ever look at this car. Your odometer statement is the only record there will be — make it exact, and keep the logbook with it.
