When it comes to keeping your car safe and compliant on Victorian roads, one thing every driver should know about is the Roadworthy Certificate (RWC). At Magictune, your trusted Eltham mechanic, we help local drivers get their roadworthy certificates quickly, affordably, and without any hassle.
In this guide, we’ll explain what a roadworthy certificate is, why it’s important, what’s checked during the inspection, and how Magictune can make the process smooth and efficient.
A roadworthy certificate is an official document that shows your vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required by VicRoads. It ensures that your car is safe to drive and protects both you and other road users.
You’ll need an RWC if you’re:
Without a valid roadworthy certificate, you can’t complete the sale or registration process legally.

A valid RWC not only keeps you compliant with Victorian law but also gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is safe.
Regular inspections help prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs by catching issues early.
For buyers, it ensures the car they’re purchasing is in good mechanical condition. For sellers, it increases the vehicle’s market value and credibility.
At Magictune, we take this process seriously — ensuring every inspection is thorough, transparent, and handled by qualified mechanics in Eltham.

We check for proper brake operation, wear on pads and discs, and any hydraulic leaks.
Ensuring your vehicle handles properly, with no loose or worn components that could affect control.
Tyres must have sufficient tread depth (at least 1.5mm) and be free from damage or uneven wear.
All lights — including headlights, brake lights, and indicators — must work correctly for visibility and safety.
We make sure seatbelts retract properly and latch securely.
Checking for cracks, chips, or damage that could obstruct visibility.
Ensuring no structural rust or damage compromises the car’s integrity.
