Mercedes Roadworthy Certificate RWC
In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate is required when buying, selling or transferring ownership of your Mercedes.
What's Included in the Roadworthy Certificate?
A RWC is a check of your Mercedes to ensure that key safety components are functioning correctly. The RWC focuses on the following areas:
- Tyre and Wheel inspection
- Brake, Suspension and Steering inspection
- Seat and seatbelt inspection
- Light and lenses inspection
- Windscreen, Wiper and Washer inspection
- Vehicle Structural Integrity inspection
Please note that a Roadworthy Inspection or Certificate does not give assurance about the maintenance condition or reliability of your Mercedes. Rather it follows the bare minumum Vicroads safety standards.
For proper peace of mind, we recommend having a Service or Pre-Purchase Inspection done in addition to a roadworthy if you are purchasing the vehicle.
That way, we can help you reduce the possibility of hidden surprises.
