Roadworthy Inspection
Professional Roadworthy Inspections
If you’re selling a vehicle, transferring registration or re-registering a vehicle, you may need a roadworthy inspection to confirm it meets the minimum safety standards required for use on the road. At Davey Automotive Services, our experienced roadworthy mechanics provide thorough vehicle roadworthy inspections and clear, honest advice throughout the process.
Our goal is to make obtaining your certificate of roadworthiness as straightforward as possible. If your vehicle meets the required standards, we’ll issue your certificate. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain exactly what’s required before arranging a reinspection.
What Is a Roadworthy Inspection?
A roadworthy inspection is a safety assessment that checks whether your vehicle complies with the minimum standards required for road use. Unlike a routine vehicle service, a roadworthy inspection focuses on safety-related components rather than the ongoing maintenance of your vehicle.
Whether you need a mechanic roadworthy certificate for a vehicle sale or simply need to book a roadworthy inspection, our qualified technicians will ensure every inspection is completed thoroughly and professionally.
What Do We Check During a Roadworthy Inspection?
During every vehicle roadworthy inspection, our technicians inspect the major safety components of your vehicle, including:
- Wheels and tyres
- Steering, suspension and braking systems
- Seats and seatbelts
- Front and rear lights, indicators and reflectors
- Windscreen, windows, wipers and washers
- Vehicle body and structural components
- Other safety-related items affecting the safe operation of the vehicle
If we identify any defects that prevent the vehicle from meeting roadworthy standards, we’ll explain the required repairs and discuss the best way to get your vehicle ready for reinspection.
Our Roadworthy Inspection Process
When you book a roadworthy inspection, we’ll inspect your vehicle against the required safety standards and provide a clear outcome.
If your vehicle passes the inspection, we’ll issue your certificate of roadworthiness so you can proceed with registration or ownership transfer requirements.
If your vehicle doesn’t pass, don’t worry. We’ll provide a detailed report explaining the repairs required. Once those repairs have been completed, we’ll arrange a reinspection so you can obtain your certificate as quickly as possible.
