Roadworthy Certificate Dandenong

Why you need a certificate of roadworthy?

An RWC (Roadworthy Certificate) is required: 

1. When you purchase or sell a car in Victoria in order to transfer the registration between individuals.
2. If you are transferring vehicle registration from another Australian state to a Victorian registration.
3. If the registration has lapsed and you need to re-register the vehicle. 
4. To clear notice of unroadworthiness or a vehicle defect notice.

What is the process of the VicRoads roadworthy inspection?

Test standards are issued by VicRoads and all tests must be checked in accordance with these regulations. When a vehicle is presented for a roadworthy inspection the presenter of the vehicle details are collected, as well as the vehicle identification details. A road test of the vehicle is conducted to pick up any possible area of concern. The vehicle inspection is then performed and any components that don’t meet the standard are recorded. During the inspection, a series of photos are taken.  A final road test is performed with a brake test conducted.

Should the vehicle have an item that doesn’t meet the standard it is noted on the official documentation, and a rejection copy of the roadworthy is issued. The owner then has 14 days to have these item rectified. The items are then reinspected and photos were taken.  If the vehicle now meets all the standards the Roadworthy Certificate will be issued and is valid for thirty days.
