In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate is needed when selling a registered vehicle, re-registering one, or clearing certain defect notices.
It must be issued by a licensed vehicle tester and focuses on safety items: tyres/wheels, brakes/steering/suspension, lights/reflectors, windscreen/wipers, seats/seatbelts, and the vehicle structure.
It’s not a full mechanical health report or a warranty, so your tired timing belt and moody radio aren’t invited.
The certificate is typically valid for 30 days from issue for transfer, so don’t let it age like milk.
Costs are set by testers, and any repairs are on you—fix obvious faults first to save a recheck.
For edge cases and the nitty-gritty, check VicRoads guidance before booking.
