Vehicles are required by law to be certified as roadworthy when a vehicle is sold, needs to be re-registered, or needs to clear defect notices, a Certificate of Roadworthiness, or 'RWC', must be obtained. This certifies that the vehicle is safe to use on public roads, but not necessarily that it is mechanically reliable.

N.B. Purchasers of a vehicle - if you purchase a vehicle without a valid RWC, it is then your responsibility to have this done before the vehicle can be registered in your name.

The cost of these inspection varies depending on the type of vehicle requiring a Certificate of Roadworthiness. Please call us for pricing.

After fixing the defects as specified on the notice, you will be required to get another Roadworthy Certificate before you can present it to a VicRoads Service Centre.

We can also arrange for your vehicle to be towed to our workshop if required.

As a special offer, Halfway Motors will waive the Retest Fee if defects are repaired in our Nhill workshop. That is a real bonus!

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

The roadworthiness test isn’t a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition of a vehicle. For a Comprehensive Vehicle Report speak to our expert service team and discuss your requirements.

Make sure your vehicle is roadworthy and fit for public use with a Certificate of Roadworthiness from Halfway Motors a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester (LV)!
