Andrews Autos are a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester in Pakenham for all your RWC needs

In Victoria an RWC, or Certificate of Roadworthiness, is needed before a vehicle can be sold, rego renewals or when it needs to be re-registered. A Licensed Vehicle Tester like Andrews Autos must check that your vehicle meets the standards set out under Regulation 220 by the Roads Corporation, or VicRoads, prior to a Certificate of Roadworthiness being issued.

Sometimes a Certificate of Roadworthiness is also needed before you can have a Defect Notice removed from a vehicle. Andrews Autos can perform the necessary repairs to comply correctly with the notice or if it fails initial inspection.

A roadworthy inspection is not a pre-purchase inspection and does not take into account the overall condition or mechanical reliability of the vehicle. Where a pre purchase inspection giving comprehensive details of the general condition or value of the vehicle is desired, you should consider arranging for a separate independent pre-purchase inspection.

It is also important to note that a Certificate of Roadworthiness does not constitute a complete assessment of a vehicle's compliance with the Standards for Registration. These standards are generally governed by the Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and are often beyond the scope of a Roadworthy Inspection.
