You must have your motor vehicle tested for roadworthiness before you register it in your name. If your motor vehicle is used for public transport or is a heavy load vehicle (excluding buses), you must take it to be tested for roadworthiness every year before you renew your motor vehicle licence. A bus must be tested for roadworthiness every six months.
All motor vehicles operating on a public road need to be examined in order to determine their roadworthiness. It is your responsibility as the owner of the vehicle to have your vehicle tested. Testing of motor vehicles can be done through private or public vehicle testing stations.
At the end of the roadworthy test, if passed, a notice is issued.
