What Is a Roadworthy Certificate?
In Victoria, an RWC is a legal requirement in several situations:
- When selling or transferring ownership of a registered vehicle
- When re-registering a car that has been unregistered
- When registering a vehicle coming from interstate
A Roadworthy Certificate is not a full mechanical check. Instead, it focuses on the critical safety components of the vehicle that matter most when driving on public roads. Booking your RWC with PAT Narre Warren ensures that your car is inspected by experienced, VicRoads-accredited testers who understand the process and provide clear communication.
This inspection confirms that your car meets the minimum safety standards required by VicRoads before it can be sold, transferred, or re-registered.
