Ah, the WA Roadworthy Certificate, otherwise known as the 'get your car checked before it gets checked out' document. In Western Australia, this certificate is mandatory when selling a vehicle or transferring ownership. It certifies that the car meets the minimum safety standards, covering brakes, tyres, lights, steering, and more.
Obtaining one involves having an authorised inspection station or mechanic give your vehicle the once-over. Expect to pay around $100 to $150 AUD for the inspection. Remember, this certificate is only valid for 7 days, so don't dilly-dally if you're selling.
For buying or selling used cars, check listings on Tradingpost or CarShowroom to see if a current roadworthy is included. And if your car fails, common issues include worn brake pads, bald tyres, and faulty lights.
