FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions.

What does the Certificate of Roadworthiness inspection cover?

What’s checked

The roadworthy inspection is a check of the vehicle to make sure that key components are in a good enough condition for safe road use. It includes:

  • wheels and tyres
  • steering, suspensions and braking systems
  • seats and seatbelts
  • lights and reflectors
  • windscreen, and windows including front wipers and washers
  • vehicle structure
  • other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

What isn’t checked

The roadworthiness test isn’t a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition of a vehicle. A Certificate of Roadworthiness does not mean that:

  • the vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration
  • non-safety related accessories (such as the air conditioner, rear window demister, electric windows and rear-window wipers) are working
  • the items checked during the roadworthy inspection will continue to function after the inspection, e.g. a brake light can stop functioning at any time after the inspection
  • the vehicle complies with all of the Australian Design Rules (ADRs)

If you require a comprehensive vehicle inspection

If you require a comprehensive check on the overall condition and reliability of the vehicle then you should arrange for a separate independent vehicle inspection which we can facilitate at the time of your Roadworthy inspection if required.

Getting a Certificate of Roadworthiness

Who issues certificates?

A Certificate of Roadworthiness can only be issued when a licensed vehicle tester, operating from a nominated licensed premises, deems the vehicle is in roadworthy condition . A certificate can only be issued when a vehicle passes the inspection.

How long does a certificate remain current?

A roadworthy certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
Note: This is not a guarantee that a vehicle with a roadworthy certificate will necessarily continue to remain in a roadworthy condition for 30 days from the date the certificate was issued.

The cost of certificate

The cost of getting a roadworthy can depend on the age, type and condition of a vehicle.

You can ask for a quote from a Licensed Vehicle Tester.

  • If the vehicle fails the test
