Kings Park questions
How long does a roadworthy certificate last?
Transport Victoria says a roadworthy certificate is current for 30 days from the date it's issued. It shows the vehicle was safe at the time of the test; it doesn't mean it will stay roadworthy for the whole 30 days.
How much does a roadworthy cost?
It depends on the vehicle's age, type and condition. Transport Victoria recommends asking your tester for a quote before starting. Call 0425 322 477 with your vehicle details.
What should I check before bringing my car in?
Check all lights and indicators work, look for windscreen damage in the driver's view, check the wipers and washers, look at tyre tread and sidewalls, and make sure every seatbelt latches and retracts. Mention any warning lights when you book.
