What’s Covered in a Roadworthy Inspection

A Roadworthy Certificate ensures your light bus meets the minimum safety standards set by VicRoads. It’s not a full mechanical check — but it focuses on critical safety components.

The process is easy.

Advice: We can advise on common fail points for light busses so you arrive prepared

Inspection: You’ll either receive a Certificate of Roadworthiness or Test Report that lists defects to be fixed

Repairs and Reinspection: If fixes are required we can complete the work and re-inspect so you can get back on the road.
