In Victoria a Certificate of Roadworthiness is generally required when a vehicle is sold or being re-registered. This helps reduce poorly maintained vehicles on the road.

Outback Accessories are authorised by Vicroads to perform Roadworthy Tests and issue Roadworth Certificates.

What is inspected?

The inspection is a check of the vehicle to ensure that key components have not worn or deteriorated and that the vehicle is safe for normal road use.

A roadworthy inspection mainly covers the major safety related items, including:

• wheels and tyres
• steering, suspension and braking systems
• seats and seat belts
• lamps and reflectors
• windscreen, and windows including front windscreen wipers and washers
• the structure of the vehicle itself
• other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

The roadworthiness test is not a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition of the vehicle. If you require a comprehensive check on the overall condition and reliability of the vehicle then you should please advise us before booking for a RWC check.

​

How long does a certificate last?

A Certificate of Roadworthiness is current for 30 days from the date of issue.
