selling a car without roadworthy vic

Yes, in Victoria you can sell a car without a Roadworthy Certificate, but the buyer can’t transfer the rego into their name until an RWC is supplied to VicRoads.

So it’s either sell it unregistered, or provide an RWC so the transfer actually happens instead of haunting your mailbox with fines.

If selling sans RWC, best practice is to cancel the rego and surrender the plates; otherwise any camera snaps still come to you, which is… suboptimal.

The buyer can use an Unregistered Vehicle Permit to move it to their shed or mechanic without playing tow-truck roulette.

Both parties should lodge the VicRoads Notice of Disposal/Transfer promptly (transfer is due within 14 days, and won’t complete until an RWC lands).

List it clearly as “as-is, no RWC” on Tradingpost and be upfront about faults—saves arguments, backflips, and midnight texts about squeaky brakes.
