Can You Trust Roadworthies?

Why a safety certificate isn’t a guarantee — and what to do instead.

A roadworthy (safety certificate) only checks for minimum legal requirements. It doesn’t cover engine health, gearbox condition or previous accident damage. Certificates can also be forged. Always view the document’s serial number and confirm with the issuing station. For peace of mind, book your own independent pre‑purchase inspection.
