What’s Covered in a Light Bus & Light Truck Roadworthy Inspection
A Roadworthy Certificate ensures your light bus meets the minimum safety standards set by VicRoads. It’s not a full mechanical check, however is does focus on critical safety components. We keep the process streamlined and straightforward, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
We will provide you with the right advice on common fail points for light buses so you arrive prepared and know what to expect.
Upon inspection, you will either receive a Certificate of Roadworthiness or Test Report that lists defects to be fixed.
We will provide any required corrections to you in writing and will assist you in getting the work done that is required in order to pass your next inspection, so you can get back on the road and back to business quickly.
