do you need a roadworthy to sell a car in victoria

Yes, in Victoria, if you're selling a registered vehicle privately, you generally need a current roadworthy certificate. This ensures the car meets minimum safety standards before changing hands. However, if the vehicle is unregistered, a roadworthy isn't mandatory, but the new owner will need one to register it. Expect to pay around $100 to $200 for the certificate, depending on the inspection station. A roadworthy is like a doctor's check-up for your car—skip it, and your buyer might run for the hills.
