Who provides the Certificate of Roadworthiness?
If the vehicle is registered, the seller provides the Certificate of Roadworthiness (valid for 30 days after date of issue). If you buy from a dealer then the dealer has the Certificate of Roadworthiness, Certificate of Registration and completed notice of acquisition to VicRoads within seven days of you buying the car. If you are buying an unregistered car from a private seller then you have to arrange the Certificate of Roadworthiness.
