ROADWORTHY CERTIFICATE INSPECTIONSDANDENONG

In Victoria a Certificate of Roadworthiness 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. In some cases a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also required to clear a Vehicle Defect Notice or a Notice of Unroadworthiness. Who issues certificates? When can a certificate be issued?
A roadworthy inspection mainly covers the major safety related items, including:
The certificate does not mean:
![]() What if the vehicle fails the test? If an item fails to meet the standard, the tester will issue a rejection report. You will be given seven days to repair the item/s rejected and return the vehicle to the tester for a second inspection of the failed items. If more than seven days elapse a complete inspection must again be carried out on the vehicle. How much does the test cost? The cost of obtaining a Certificate of Roadworthiness is not fixed. It may depend on the age, type and condition of the vehicle being examined. You can ask for a quote from our friently team member. How long does a certificate last? A Certificate of Roadworthiness is current, for the purposes of a transaction, for 30 days from the date of issue. What about the Australian Design Rules? The roadworthiness test is not a complete assessment of a vehicle's compliance with the Standards for Registration, which, in most cases, are the Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The ADRs are a set of minimum standards for the construction of motor vehicles and trailers. In most cases compliance with these standards cannot be assessed by inspection alone. |
