Roadworthy Certificate FAQs
What is a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC)?
A Roadworthy Certificate is a document that confirms your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards set by VicRoads. It is required when you are selling a vehicle, re-registering a used vehicle, or clearing a vehicle defect notice.
How is a roadworthy inspection different from a pre-purchase inspection?
A roadworthy inspection is a check of the key safety components of your vehicle to ensure it is safe to be on the road. A pre purchase inspection is a more comprehensive check of the vehicle’s overall condition to help you make an informed buying decision. A roadworthy certificate is not a guarantee of the vehicle’s mechanical reliability.
What is checked during a roadworthy inspection?
A roadworthy inspection covers the essential safety components of your vehicle, including the wheels and tyres, steering and suspension, brakes, seats and seatbelts, lights and reflectors, windscreen and windows, and the structure of the vehicle itself.
How much does a roadworthy inspection cost?
The cost of a roadworthy inspection is set by VicRoads. Please contact us for the current fee. If your vehicle fails the inspection and requires repairs, we will provide you with a separate quote for the necessary work.
What happens if my car fails the roadworthy inspection?
If your vehicle fails the inspection, we will provide you with a report detailing the items that need to be rectified. You will then have 14 days to have the repairs completed and the vehicle re-inspected. We can perform the necessary repairs in our workshop to ensure your vehicle meets the required standards.
How long is a Roadworthy Certificate valid for?
A Roadworthy Certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. This means you have 30 days to sell or re-register your vehicle using the certificate.
Are you a licensed vehicle tester?
Yes, Bosch Car Service Ringwood is a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester, authorised to perform roadworthy inspections and issue Roadworthy Certificates.
