It depends on how long it has been out of rego, why and what mods have happened since. You can usually get away with a mechanics report.

Well in Melbourne if your buying a car from a private dealer, you need to have a Road Worthy Cert to get the rego changed in to your name. Doesn't matter if it doesn't have Rego when you buy it, to change the details into your name you have to go to VicRoads and give them the transfer papers and a RWC.

My TG was out of rego months before I bought it. I regoed it a week or so ago. Easy as.
