Certificate of Roadworthiness Inspections (RWC) in Langwarrin, Victoria

In Langwarrin as with elsewhere in Victoria, a certificate of roadworthiness (RWC) is required when a registered vehicle is being offered for sale - the seller of the vehicle must provide a current roadworthiness certificate to the buyer unless the buyer is a spouse or a motor vehicle trader.

You can sell a vehicle without an RWC if it is not registered, however, before a used vehicle can be re-registered in Victoria an RWC is needed. In some cases a roadworthiness certificate is also needed to clear certain types of vehicle defect notices in Victoria.

Firstly your vehicle needs to pass a roadworthy inspection test undertaken by a suitably qualified mechanic at a licensed vehicle testing station. Provided the vehicle successfully passes the inspection, a Roadworthy certificate is issued. A Roadworthy Certificate, or RWC, can only be issued by a licensed vehicle testing station such as Langwarrin Auto Care in Langwarrin.

A roadworthy inspection covers many major safety related items, including:

• The structure of the vehicle itself
• Steering
• Windscreens, including wipers & washers
• Seatbelts and seating
• Lights and Reflectors
• Suspension Systems
• Braking Systems
• Safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

An RWC is valid for 30 days from the date of issue.

Because of the vastly diverse types and models of vehicles on Victorian roads, Roadworthy Certificates are not a fixed charge and the overall cost can vary to some degree. The actual cost of obtaining a Roadworthiness certificate can depend on the age, type and condition of the vehicle being examined. Contact Langwarrin Auto Care today for more information.

A roadworthiness inspection test is not a check of the overall reliability or condition of a vehicle. If you require a comprehensive check on the condition and reliability of the vehicle then Contact us at Langwarrin Auto Care to ask about our 150 point vehicle inspection.
