CVRT Testing

The Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Test (CVRT) is a roadworthiness test for all commercial vehicles, buses with more than eight passenger seats and ambulances, all over one year old. The purpose of the test is to ensure that these vehicles are in good condition throughout their entire life.

All commercial vehicles must be tested when they are over one year old and annually after that.

There are two types of commercial vehicle tests, one for Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and one for Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs).

RE-TESTS

All re-tests must be completed within 21 calendar days and within 4,000 kms of the initial test or you’ll need to repeat the full test. A visual re-test is free, but a re-test that requires a test lane has a fee that is half of the normal test fee.
