Roadworthy Inspections

Roadworthy inspections are crucial for both safety and legal compliance. Maiolo Motor Services has emerged as a trusted name for conducting these vital checks in North Fitzroy.

Understanding VicRoads Roadworthy Inspections

VicRoads roadworthy inspections are essential for determining whether a vehicle is safe to be driven on public roads. They are often required when selling a vehicle, transferring ownership, or re-registering a vehicle. The primary objective is to ensure that the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required by law.

Criteria for Inspections

  1. Brakes: The condition of the brake pads, discs, and overall braking system is thoroughly checked.
  2. Steering and Suspension: These components are inspected to ensure the vehicle handles safely and predictably.
  3. Tyres and Wheels: Tyre tread depth, condition, and wheel alignment are evaluated.
  4. Lights and Reflectors: All lights, indicators, and reflectors are tested for functionality and compliance with safety standards.
  5. Seats and Seatbelts: These are checked to ensure they are securely fitted and in good condition.
  6. Windscreens and Windows: These are inspected for any cracks or damage that could impair vision.
  7. Body and Chassis: The structural integrity of the vehicle is examined for any signs of damage or rust.

Regular roadworthy inspections are more than just a legal requirement; they are critical for ensuring the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users. A vehicle that passes a roadworthy inspection is less likely to be involved in accidents caused by mechanical failure. Moreover, a roadworthy certificate can increase the resale value of your vehicle, providing assurance to potential buyers about its condition.

  3. Tyre Condition: Check the tread depth and condition of your tyres. Replace them if they are worn out or damaged.
  4. Fluid Levels: Ensure that all essential fluids, such as brake fluid, oil, and coolant, are at appropriate levels.
