Licensed Roadworthy Certificate Inspections in Reservoir

If you're selling a vehicle, transferring ownership or re-registering a vehicle in Victoria, you may require a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC). A roadworthy inspection helps ensure your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required for Victorian roads.

At Automotive Instincts, we provide professional Roadworthy Certificate inspections in Reservoir. Our licensed vehicle testers carry out thorough inspections in accordance with Victorian roadworthiness requirements, helping identify any safety-related issues that may need attention before a certificate can be issued.

Whether you're preparing a vehicle for sale, ownership transfer or registration purposes, our experienced team can guide you through the process and help ensure your vehicle meets the required standards.

What is a Roadworthy Certificate?

A Roadworthy Certificate confirms that a vehicle meets the minimum safety requirements for operation on Victorian roads.

An RWC inspection focuses on the safety condition of the vehicle and may assess components including:

• Brakes

• Steering and suspension

• Tyres and wheels

• Seatbelts

• Lights and indicators

• Windscreen and wipers

• Vehicle structure

• Safety-related systems

A Roadworthy Certificate is not a comprehensive mechanical inspection but rather a safety assessment.

When Do You Need a Roadworthy Certificate?

You may require an RWC for:

• Selling a vehicle

• Vehicle ownership transfer

• Re-registering a vehicle

• Clearing certain vehicle defect notices

• Other registration-related requirements

If you're unsure whether an RWC is required, our team can provide guidance based on your situation.
