A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is more than just a document; it is a proof that your vehicle meets the safety standards required by law. For any car owner planning to sell, re-register, or clear a defect notice on their vehicle in Australia, obtaining an RWC is a mandatory step. At Carr Care Automotive, we are here to guide you through why, when, and how to secure your Roadworthy Certificate smoothly and efficiently.
What is a Roadworthy Certificate?
A Roadworthy Certificate is issued following a thorough inspection of a vehicle, ensuring it is safe for road use. This inspection doesn’t encompass mechanical reliability but focuses on critical safety components such as:
- Wheels and tyres
- Steering, suspensions, and braking systems
- Seats and seatbelts
- Lights and reflectors
- Windscreen and wipers
- Overall structure of the vehicle
Obtaining an RWC ensures that key aspects of your car are up to the standard required for safe driving.
