A Roadworthy Certificate is a document issued by approved inspection stations that shows that your car is in good working order and safe for you to drive. This is a vital part of keeping our roads safe and preventing accidents caused by faulty vehicles.
If you’re looking to buy a used vehicle, make sure that it has a roadworthy certificate before purchasing it. This will help you avoid any unnecessary risks in the future and also protect you from any problems with your purchase should it turn out to be a lemon.
You can find the location of a roadworthy inspection station in your area online by visiting Euro Autoworks or calling them directly. Once you know the address of the tester, you can book an appointment and get your vehicle inspected.
The inspector will take a look at the body, engine and chassis of your car. He will check for things like a faulty brake system, poor fuel economy and more.
He will check if your tyres are in good condition as well. A worn-out tyre has less traction and can easily slip or skid, which means you won’t be able to drive safely. It’s important to replace your tyres when you see the tread wear indicator bars start to show.
Another aspect that your mechanic will look at is the windshield of the car. Having a damaged or cracked windscreen can be dangerous, as it can reduce your vision significantly. It’s therefore best to fix this issue before your inspection.
Depending on your state, you may need to have your vehicle tested for roadworthiness before you can register it. This is particularly true for public transport and heavy-duty vehicles (buses).
If you need your car inspected, book an appointment with one of our team at Euro Autoworks. We will be able to conduct your inspection and help you fix any issues that are preventing you from receiving your roadworthy certificate.
When You Need a Roadworthy Certificate
In Victoria, you will need to have your car inspected for roadworthiness before you can register it. The process is simple, but there are some things to be aware of before you go in for the inspection.
You will need to have the number plates of the vehicle removed before the roadworthy inspection can take place. This is because a roadworthy certificate will be needed for the car to be re-registered in your name.
