A Roadworthy Certificate — commonly called an RWC or just a "roadworthy" — is a safety inspection that confirms your vehicle meets the minimum standards required to be driven on Victorian roads. It covers the parts of the car that keep you safe: brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, seatbelts and structure.
It's important to know what a roadworthy is not. It isn't a mechanical warranty, and it isn't a guarantee that nothing will go wrong. It's a snapshot of your vehicle's safety on the day it's inspected. If you want a deeper look at a car's overall condition — particularly before buying one — a full inspection is the better option.
We'll tell you honestly what your car needs and what it doesn't. No padding the list, no upselling repairs that aren't required to pass.
