FAQs

Find answers to common questions about roadworthy inspections, requirements and what to expect before booking.

When do I need a roadworthy certificate?

You need a roadworthy certificate when selling a car, transferring ownership or re-registering a used vehicle. If you are in Melbourne city or the surrounding areas, booking at a licensed Melbourne roadworthy centre ensures your vehicle is inspected to meet the safety standards set by the Victorian Government.

How long is a roadworthy certificate valid?

A roadworthy certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. This means the certificate is valid for 30 days to transfer the registration or finalise a sale. If this timeframe passes, you may need to book another inspection.

What happens if my vehicle fails the inspection?

If your vehicle is not road-ready, you will receive a report outlining required repairs. You can complete these at a service station or tyre shop, then return for a re-inspection within 14 days without needing a full new inspection.

Who can issue a roadworthy certificate?

A roadworthy certificate must be issued by a licensed vehicle tester after a successful inspection. At BM Tech, our qualified team ensures your vehicle is safe enough and meets all requirements before issuing certification.

What is checked during a roadworthy inspection?

Your vehicle is inspected to ensure key safety components meet required standards. This includes brakes, tyres, suspension, lights and items such as the fuel line. Once the vehicle tester confirms compliance after a successful assessment, the certificate is issued.
