In Victoria a Certificate of Roadworthiness is generally required when a vehicle is sold or if a used vehicle is to be re-registered. This helps minimise the number of poorly maintained vehicles on the road.
\nIn some cases a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also required to clear a Vehicle Defect Notice or a Notice of Unroadworthiness.
\nWho issues certificates?<\/p>\n
A Certificate of Roadworthiness can only be issued by a licensed vehicle tester, operating from a nominated garage or service station. All Car Service Centre is licensed vehicle testers.
\nWhen can a certificate be issued?<\/p>\n
The vehicle must pass a roadworthy inspection, then a certificate is issued.
\nWhat is inspected?<\/p>\n
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.
\nA roadworthy inspection mainly covers the major safety related items, including:<\/p>\n
wheels and tyres
\nsteering, suspension and braking systems
\nseats and seat belts
\nlamps and reflectors
\nwindscreen, and windows including front windscreen wipers and washers
\nthe structure of the vehicle itself
\nother safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.
\nThe 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 arrange for a separate report offered by All Car Service Centre.
\nThe certificate does not mean:<\/p>\n
that the vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration
\nnon-safety related accessories such as the air conditioner, rear window demister, electric windows and rear-window wipers are working
\nthat the items checked during the roadworthy inspection will continue to function after the inspection eg. a brake light can stop functioning at any time after the inspection.
\nWhat if the vehicle fails the test?<\/p>\n
If an item fails to meet the standard, We will issue a rejection report. You will be given seven days to repair the item\/s rejected and return the vehicle to us for a second inspection of the failed items. If more than seven days elapse a complete inspection must again be carried out on the vehicle.
\nHow much does the test cost?<\/p>\n
The cost of obtaining a Certificate of Roadworthiness is not fixed. It may depend on the age, type and condition of the vehicle being examined. You can ask for a quote from us.
\nHow long does a certificate last?<\/p>\n
A Certificate of Roadworthiness is current, for the purposes of a transaction, for 30 days from the date of issue.
\nWhat about the Australian Design Rules?<\/p>\n
The roadworthiness test is not a complete assessment of a vehicle\u2019s compliance with the Standards for Registration, which, in most cases, are the Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The ADRs are a set of minimum standards for the construction of motor vehicles and trailers. In most cases compliance with these standards cannot be assessed by inspection alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
