If you plan to sell, buy or re-register your vehicle, you’ll need a roadworthy certificate (RWC).

We are the go-to VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester (License No. LV 12425), serving drivers across Victoria.
You’ll get a detailed certificate of roadworthiness that clears your ride for driving on the road. In case the vehicle fails the inspection, we’ll highlight all necessary repairs needed for safety and compliance. The entire process is thorough and transparent to simplify things for you.
What Is a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC)?
A certificate of roadworthiness confirms that the vehicle is safe to drive on public roads. The document is issued by a Licensed Vehicle Tester (LVT) after conducting a roadworthy inspection to identify issues. This way, you know that a motor vehicle meets the safety and emission standards for it to be legally driven on roads.
What Do We Check During Our Roadworthy Inspection?
To receive a roadworthy certificate, your car needs to go through several important safety checks and pass every single one. This not only protects the driver and other road users, but it’s a legal requirement when selling used cars in Victoria. During an RWC inspection, we assess the following areas:
Wheels and tyres
Steering and braking system
Lights and reflectors
Vehicle body
Seats and seat belts
Windscreen glass and wipers
Safety issues related to the chassis and engine
After inspection, we’ll guide you through the steps if there are any issues. You’ll only need to repair what is necessary to meet the standards. Moreover, we keep RWC costs reasonable with no hidden charges.
What if the Vehicle Fails the Roadworthy Inspection?
If your vehicle doesn’t meet the required standards, you’ll receive a rejection report and have 14 days to fix the issue. You can bring the car back for a re-inspection after repairs are done. Once it passes all checks, a certificate of roadworthiness is issued. Remember, a re-inspection is typically free if carried out within the stipulated 14 days. If 14 days have already passed, you’ll need to pay for a new inspection.
