Know Before booking a roadworthy inspection
A roadworthy certificate is not a full mechanical inspection. It confirms that the vehicle meets applicable roadworthiness requirements at the time of inspection, rather than guaranteeing it has no other faults. Check the official VicRoads roadworthiness guidance for current information, including exemptions. For help after an earlier inspection, see our roadworthy re-inspection page.

A Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) confirms that a vehicle met the applicable Victorian roadworthiness requirements at the time of inspection. It focuses on specified safety items, not the full mechanical condition of the vehicle.
The requirement depends on your situation and the applicable Victorian rules, such as certain vehicle sales, registration transfers or re-registration circumstances. Confirm your specific situation before booking.
No. It is a safety and roadworthiness assessment against specified requirements at the time of inspection. It does not guarantee that the vehicle has no other mechanical faults or will not need repairs.
If defects are identified, the certificate cannot be issued until the relevant requirements are met. You will need to arrange repairs and understand whether a reinspection is required.
Bring your vehicle and any relevant registration or inspection information you have. When booking, explain why you need the certificate so the team can advise what information may be useful.
