you aren't required to do a VIV inspection if the vehicle is currently registered in NSW.
I purchased my car from NSW, rolled under NSW plates for a month then once I had a vicroads appointment available i went there to surrender my plates/show bill of sale/show rwc/ paid rego and paid for new plates.
you will then receive a paper which says you've surrendered your plates, sent it off to RTA and a sweet month and a half later you receive a payout on whatever's left on the rego.
they shouldn't have even needed to take a look at your car, it's only required if you are re registering it.
^Same with me. Exactly did wat "fillit" did.
===============
"Vick" why take it to the city in particular Carlton. The vicroads city offices seem to have different rules. Come to think about it all staff @ vicroads seems to be providing different answers.
When i picked it from NSW.
To now
The information which i hope can help is this.
Written-off vehicle reforms in NSW
From 1 August 2011, all unregistered written-off vehicles that are eligible for registration need a Certificate of Compliance from a NSW Fair Trading Licensed Repairer. The vehicle must also meet RTA inspection requirements before it can be registered in NSW.
See 'Information for Vehicle Owners' for more information.
Written-off vehicle laws aim to ensure vehicle safety and protect consumers. The laws also seek to reduce the risk of vehicle theft and car re-birthing in NSW.
A vehicle is 're-birthed' when parts from a stolen vehicle are used illegally to repair and re-register a written-off vehicle. Re-birthed vehicles are often poorly repaired and can be a safety risk.
For further information about the new reforms, see Written-off Vehicle reforms - FAQs. What are the new laws?
NSW light vehicles written-off from 1 February 2011 are classified as statutory write-offs on the written-off vehicle register. This means that they cannot be repaired and re-registered (unless the vehicle meets certain requirements).
The new laws apply to all NSW light vehicles including trailers, caravans and motorcycles.
Written-off vehicles that have permission to be repaired must satisfy RTA inspection requirements before they can be re-registered.
really should have done them before the car was purchased. but what i'm suprised about is that they actually checked your car? or did you request for a check? what i would do, is book an appointment at another vicroads and tell them you only want to transfer the registration and see if they ask for a VIV inspection as I don't see any reason why they would if the car is currently registered.
They told me it's required because it's between the age of 10-15 years. I called vicroads before my inspection and she confirmed that no VIV is required, and when i get there it's a different story. I'll book another place in, any recommendations? Sunshine?
i did mine at sunshine without a problem, unfortunately i had to wait almost 4 weeks for an appointment there. My car is a 1997 model, and i did not have to go through that procedure, try different places, maybe even Sunbury.
