Why a Roadworthy Inspection is Necessary

A roadworthy inspection is necessary to prove that a used vehicle is completely functional and in good condition to be driven on the roads. This is extremely important for both the seller and buyer, as a roadworthy certificate is one of the basic requirements for selling or re-registering a vehicle. Driving a car with defects poses a safety threat not only to you but also to other drivers, as well as pedestrians. You can also damage public property.  

 

A licensed vehicle tester can only issue a roadworthy certificate
