Victorian Certificate of roadworthiness which is no more than 30 days old from the date of issue must be supplied when a second hand motor vehicle or heavy trailer is re-registered or transferred to a new operator.
Photocopies of certificates of roadworthiness are not accepted. Only the original copy is acceptable.
The Road Safety (Vehices) Regulations 1999, provides that the requirements for certificates of roadworthiness do not apply to a vehicle that is not designed primarily for carrying passengers or goods on a highway and determined to be a specially constructed vehicle. (eg. back hoe, mower, motorised wheel chair etc.)
