Roadworthy Inspections

Vic Roadworthy Certification

Roadworthy Inspections

​

Roadworthy certificates can be issued by our Ringwood, Melbourne service centre, these are approved VicRoads inspection certificates, needed for vehicle transfers

In Victoria a Roadworthy Certificate is generally required when a vehicle is sold or if a used vehicle is to be re-registered. This helps minimise the number of poorly maintained vehicles on the road.

​

FAQ

What is inspected?
The inspection is a check of the vehicle to ensure that key components have not worn or
deteriorated and that the vehicle is safe for normal road use.

A roadworthy inspection mainly covers the major safety related items, including:

  • wheels and tyres
  • steering, suspension and braking systems
  • seats and seat belts
  • lamps and reflectors
  • windscreen, and windows including front windscreen wipers and washers
  • the structure of the vehicle itself
  • other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

What is not inspected?
The roadworthiness test is not a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition
of the vehicle. If you require a comprehensive check on the overall condition and reliability
of the vehicle then you should arrange for a separate independent report such as those
offered by the RACV, many Licensed Motor Car Traders (LMCTs) and other workshops.

The certificate does not mean:

  • that the vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration
  • non-safety related accessories such as the air conditioner, rear window demister,
    electric windows and rear-window wipers are working
  • that the items checked during the roadworthy inspection will continue to
    function after theinspection eg. a brake light can stop functioning at any time
    after the inspection.

What if the vehicle fails the test?
If the vehicle fails the inspection, it means there were defects found in-line with the
test criteria. From there the vehicle must have all known defects fixed within 7 days.
If this is done at our workshop, we will issue the certificate. If the work is completed
offsite, we will need to re-inspect the defects for satisfactory repair, this may
involve a fee. If vehicle is taken off-site and repaired after 7 days, it will need to
pass another full inspection.


How long does the certificate stay valid?
The certificate stays valid for 30 days from date of issue.
