Getting Your Car Roadworthy: What Every Driver Should Know

RWC

When it comes to registering, selling or transferring a vehicle in Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is not just a formality—it’s a legal safety benchmark. At Spanners & Sparks Automotive in Wendouree, we deliver roadworthy inspections performed by trained vehicle examiners to meet the standards set by Transport Victoria (Formally VicRoads).

What Happens During a Roadworthy Inspection?

Our inspection starts with a comprehensive check of all major safety-critical systems: brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, lighting, chassis condition and more. Should any item fall short of the checklist, our technicians will provide clear repair options—so you’re not left guessing what needs to be fixed. As noted on our site: “If your vehicle fails to meet the minimum requirements during examination, we can assist in performing most roadworthy repairs in house.”

Seamless Process, Minimal Stress

We understand that selling or transferring registration can already be a stressful process. That’s why our team makes the roadworthy process straightforward: inspection → report → repairs (if needed) → e-certificate. Once the vehicle passes inspection we can issue the online e-certificate ready for registration or transfer.

Unfortunately, a Roadworthy inspection is only a minimum set of safety standards, which means the vehicle is safe to operate on public roads.It's no substitute for a thorough mechanical inspection and does little to give any indication on the reliability or service life of the vehicle.
