FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about roadworthy certificates in Victoria

A roadworthy certificate (RWC) is a document that certifies a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required by VicRoads. It's not a guarantee of the mechanical reliability or condition of the vehicle, but rather a statement that the vehicle meets the minimum safety requirements for use on Victorian roads.

You need a roadworthy certificate when: selling a registered vehicle, re-registering a vehicle after a registration has been cancelled, transferring a vehicle registration to your name (unless it's received from a spouse/domestic partner), or registering a vehicle that's been brought into Victoria from interstate.

A roadworthy certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue or until the vehicle is sold, whichever comes first. If the ownership of the vehicle changes, the certificate becomes invalid for the new owner.

The inspection checks essential safety components including: brakes, steering, suspension, wheels and tires, seats and seat belts, lights and reflectors, windscreen and windows, general body condition, and other safety-related items. It does not check the engine, transmission, clutch, or other non-safety related mechanical components.

A standard roadworthy inspection typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour. However, this can vary depending on the vehicle type, age, and condition. We offer same-day certificates for vehicles that pass the inspection.

If your vehicle fails the inspection, we'll provide you with a detailed report of the items that need to be fixed. You can choose to have the repairs done at our facility or elsewhere. Once the repairs are completed, we'll re-inspect only the failed items at a reduced fee.
