What Is a Roadworthy Certificate?
A Roadworthy Certificate is a legal document that confirms a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required for operation on public roads in Victoria. It is often required when:
- Selling or transferring vehicle ownership
- Re-registering a used vehicle
- Clearing a defect or notice issued by the authorities
Only licensed testers such as Premium Autocare can conduct RWC inspections and issue certificates. We perform all inspections in accordance with Regulation 220 of the Roads Corporation.
What Does a Roadworthy Inspection Cover?
It’s important to note that an RWC inspection focuses on vehicle safety rather than overall mechanical reliability or cosmetic condition. Our inspection includes:
- Wheels and tyres
- Braking system
- Suspension and steering
- Windscreens and windows (including wipers)
- Seats and seatbelts
- Lights and reflectors
- Vehicle structure and body
- Any other safety-related components
Items not included in an RWC inspection:
- Air conditioning
- Rear window wipers
- Audio systems
- Engine and transmission performance
- Interior trims or cosmetic defects
- Emissions or exhaust noise
If your vehicle meets the standards, we issue your certificate immediately. If not, we will explain exactly what needs to be fixed and offer solutions through our fully equipped workshop.
