Every car driven on a public road in Victoria requires a roadworthy certificate. Without one, the car is not legal to drive and can result in a hefty fine if you get caught.
To be awarded a roadworthy certificate, your car must go through a roadworthy inspection that tests each safety feature of your vehicle. If the features are working in a minimally acceptable condition, your car will be issued with a valid roadworthy certificate.
Requiring roadworthy certificates in Victoria helps to keep Victorian roads safe and minimises the number of potentially dangerous vehicles on the roads.
It is important to note that once a vehicle has undergone a vehicle inspection and been issued with a roadworthy certificate, this only states that the car is safe enough to drive with no guarantee that the vehicle is mechanically reliable.
If you’re planning to sell your vehicle, re-register it or are required to clear defect notices, the team at Bentleigh Automotive Services has got you covered.
In Victoria, a Certificate of Roadworthiness can only be issued by a licensed vehicle tester.
At Bentleigh Automotive Services, our licensed team are legally permitted to undertake roadworthy inspections and do so to the highest standards and quality.
All our roadworthy vehicle inspections thoroughly check the key components of your car to ensure that it is in the safest possible condition to drive. If it turns out that your vehicle is unroadworthy, we will advise you on the next steps so that you can get back on the road quickly and safely.
Each roadworthy inspection diagnoses the quality of the following components:
If you require an inspection of non-safety related accessories including your car air conditioning, rear demister and more, our experienced team can perform a general car service or logbook service to ensure the quality of your vehicle.

Once our professional team has issued your vehicle with a roadworthy certificate, you will have thirty days to present it to your local VicRoads for approval.
