What is an RWC and When Do You Need One?
In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate is required when:
- You’re selling or transferring a registered vehicle
- Re-registering a vehicle that’s been unregistered
- Registering a vehicle that’s come from interstate
Think of it as a safety guarantee. It’s not a full mechanical inspection, but it confirms your car meets the minimum standards set by VicRoads.
During the inspection, our mechanics check the important safety items, including:
- Brakes
- Tyres and Wheels
- Steering and Suspension
- Lights and Electricals
- Windscreen, Windows & Wipers
- Seats & Seatbelts
- Body Condition and Structure
Most RWCs take around 45–60 minutes, depending on your vehicle’s condition. Costs vary between cars, but we’ll give you a clear quote upfront so there are no surprises.
How long is a Roadworthy Certificate valid for?
An RWC in Victoria is valid for 30 days from the date it’s issued. If you don’t complete your transfer or registration in that time, you’ll need a new certificate.
What happens if my car fails the RWC inspection?
If your car doesn’t pass, don’t worry. We’ll give you a written list of what needs fixing. Once those items are repaired, you can bring the car back within 14 days for a free re-inspection.
Can you repair issues found during the inspection?
Yes — our workshop can take care of most repairs required to get your car roadworthy. We’ll discuss the options with you first and give you a clear cost breakdown before doing any work.
