Roadworthy Certificates

A certificate of Roadworthiness, also called a roadworthy or RWC, guarantees that your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards to be legally driven on Victorian roads. If you’re planning on selling or otherwise transferring ownership of a vehicle, you first have to acquire a Roadworthy Certificate, issued only by a licensed tester.

The Roadworthy Inspection covers:

  • Wheels and tyres
  • Steering, suspension and brakes
  • Seats and seatbelts
  • Lights and reflectors
  • Windscreen, windows and wipers
  • Chassis

It does not cover aspects of the vehicle unrelated to safety, such as air conditioning, electric windows etc.
