Notwithstanding that a roadworthy certificate is required when ownership of a vehicle changes, a quality roadworthy test is much more than that. Far too many South African lives are tragically lost each year; caused by motor vehicles that are not roadworthy. As an international organisation DEKRA is committed to safety, quality and the preservation of human life and a quality DEKRA roadworthy is the first step towards achieving this vision.
The benefits of a DEKRA Roadworthy Certificate: • DEKRA has introduced 85 years of roadworthy testing experience and DEKRA Roadworthy Tests comply with international standards. • DEKRA Roadworthy Tests are completed in accordance with the SANS 100216 and SABS 10047 Government regulations as stipulated in the National Road Traffic Act No.93 of 1996. • Twelve specific areas on the vehicle are checked with 75 items individually inspected. • DEKRA are the roadworthy testing experts.
When your family’s safety really matters – a quality DEKRA roadworthy test is your peace of mind.
