Our licensed testers thoroughly assess your vehicle’s key safety features, ensuring it meets the minimum safety standards required for legal use on public roads.
What’s Checked in a Roadworthy Inspection?
When you bring your car in for a roadworthy inspection, our experienced mechanics in Murrumbeena evaluate all major components that contribute to your vehicle’s safe operation. The assessment focuses solely on safety, and includes a detailed check of:
- Tyres – tread depth, wear patterns, and sidewall condition
- Brakes – effectiveness of pads, rotors, and overall braking system
- Steering and suspension – stability, control, and handling performance
- Windscreen and windows – visibility, cracks, and washer/wiper function
- Lights and reflectors – headlights, brake lights, indicators, and reverse lights
- Vehicle body and chassis – rust, structural integrity, and secure bumpers
If any component is found to be defective or unsafe, our team will provide clear feedback and advice on the necessary repairs before a certificate can be issued.
Why Do You Need a Roadworthy Certificate?
A roadworthy certificate is legally required in Victoria for any vehicle that is being sold, transferred to a new owner, or re-registered. Without this certificate, you won’t be able to complete the transfer of ownership or registration, which could lead to unnecessary delays and legal complications. For those selling their car, having a valid certificate gives potential buyers confidence that the vehicle is safe and road-ready.
