Get a Certificate of Roadworthiness
A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is needed whenever a vehicle is sold, re-registered, or to clear some defect notices.
The RWC is issued by a licensed vehicle tester after a thorough examination of the vehicle, ensuring it meets the minimum safety standards to legally be driven on public roads.
The inspection includes:
- Wheels and tyres
- Steering and Suspension
- Brakes
- Seats and seatbelts
- Lights and reflectors
- Windscreen and windows
- Vehicle structure
- Other safety related systems
The inspection doesn’t check for general condition or mechanical reliability, so if you’re buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend a pre-purchase inspection.
If your vehicle doesn’t pass the inspection, and you can have the faults repaired and present the vehicle for re-inspection in 14 days, there is no additional charge for reinspection.
