Worx Automotive Roadworthy RWC and Vehicle Pre Purchase inspections

Roadworthy Certificates (RWC)

A Certificate of Roadworthiness (also known as a ‘roadworthy’ or ‘RWC’) shows that your vehicle’s safe enough to be used on public roads. A roadworthy is required whenever a vehicle’s sold, if it’s being re-registered, and to clear some defect notices.

The person selling the vehicle must produce a current roadworthiness certificate to the purchaser, unless the buyer is a spouse or a motor vehicle trader.

The roadworthy inspection is a check of the vehicle to make sure that key components are in a good enough condition for safe road use. It includes:

• wheels and tyres

• steering, suspensions and braking systems

• seats and seatbelts

• lights and reflectors

• windscreen, and windows including front wipers and washers

• vehicle structure

• other safety related items on the body, chassis or engine.

Your vehicle's RWC is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued.

• Professional opinion of mechanical condition of the vehicle based on sellers claims

• verify performance or upgrades if any.

• ecu diagnostic.

• information on know issues with the respective vehicle

• unmentioned repair cover ups as well as validity of odometer reading if it has been tempered with.
