RACV Vehicle Inspection FAQs
What is the difference between an RACV Pre-Purchase Inspection and a Roadworthy Certificate?
A Pre-Purchase Inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a vehicle’s overall condition to help you make an informed buying decision. A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is a legal requirement in Victoria to verify a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards for sale or re-registration. The RWC is not a guarantee of the vehicle’s overall mechanical condition.
What is checked during an RACV Pre-Purchase Inspection?
The inspection covers a wide range of items, including the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, and a visual check of the body and chassis. It also includes a road test to assess the vehicle’s performance. You will receive a detailed report outlining any issues found.
How much does an RACV Pre-Purchase Inspection cost?
The cost of a pre-purchase inspection depends on the type of vehicle and the level of inspection required. As an RACV Accredited Auto Care Centre, we offer competitive pricing. Please contact us for a quote for your specific vehicle.
What does the 30 day mechanical guarantee cover?
The RACV 30 day mechanical guarantee provides protection against certain mechanical failures that may occur after a pre-purchase inspection. It offers peace of mind when buying a used car. Terms and conditions apply, and we can provide you with the full details.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
A comprehensive pre-purchase inspection typically takes 2-3 hours to complete. We will provide you with a detailed report of our findings shortly after the inspection is finished.
Do I need to be an RACV member to get a vehicle inspection?
No, you do not need to be an RACV member to have a pre-purchase inspection performed at our workshop. However, RACV members receive a 12-month/20,000km warranty on all servicing and repairs as well as a Member Guarantee – call us for more details.
Can you perform an inspection on a car at a dealership or private seller’s location?
All our RACV Pre-Purchase Inspections are conducted at our fully equipped workshop in Ringwood. This allows us to use our specialised diagnostic equipment and hoists to perform a thorough and accurate assessment of the vehicle. We also offer a courtesy collection service for vehicles located at Car City Ringwood.
