What is Included in a Roadworthy Check?
A roadworthy check is a safety inspection required to obtain a roadworthy certificate. It focuses on essential components that affect the safe operation of your vehicle and ensures it meets VicRoads safety requirements. This inspection is not a full mechanical assessment but confirms that key safety systems are functioning correctly at the time of inspection.
During the roadworthy inspection, licensed testers examine the following safety components:
Wheels and Tyres
Tyres are checked for sufficient tread depth, damage, and overall condition to ensure safe grip and stability.
Steering and Suspension
Steering components and suspension systems are inspected for wear, damage, or excessive movement that could affect vehicle control.
Braking System
Brake pads, discs, and braking performance are assessed to ensure the vehicle can stop safely.
Seatbelts and Seats
Seatbelts are checked for proper operation, and seats are inspected to ensure they are securely mounted.
Lights and Indicators
All essential lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are tested to confirm proper visibility and signalling.
Windscreen and Visibility
The windscreen, wipers, and washers are inspected to ensure clear visibility for safe driving.
Other Essential Safety Components
Mirrors, doors, fuel system, exhaust system, airbags (if applicable), and overall vehicle condition are checked to ensure compliance with roadworthy safety standards.
Exhaust and Emissions
The exhaust system is inspected for secure mounting, leaks, and proper function to ensure safe operation and compliance with safety standards.
What a Roadworthy Check Does Not Cover?
A roadworthy certificate confirms that your vehicle meets minimum safety standards, but it does not assess overall mechanical reliability or future performance. Components such as the engine condition, air conditioning, and non-safety accessories are not part of the roadworthy inspection.
