What type of vehicle examinations may be pre-booked?

All vehicle examinations can be pre-booked at the participating Vehicle Examination Centres.

• From November 2008 vehicles that have been entered into the Written-Off Vehicle Register (WOVR) as Repairable Write-Offs are required to be examined for licensing purposes.
• The time taken to pass such a vehicle depends upon a number of factors including how readily it can be identified, the quality of the evidence to support the repairs required and the quality of the repairs.
• Accordingly, from Monday 3 November 2008, vehicles that have been entered into the WOVR will only be examined at Vehicle Examination Centres that offer the booking system.

Vehicles entered into the Written-Off Vehicle Register (WOVR) as Repairable Write-Offs are required to be examined before they can be re-licensed.
These vehicles can only be examined at the following Vehicle Examination Centres:

• Midland (map)
• Osborne Park (map)
