A vehicle entered on the WOVR as a repairable write-off cannot be re-registered nor have its registration maintained unless a current Vehicle Identity Validation (VIV) certificate is submitted to VicRoads. Exemptions may apply for vehicles damaged in the 25 December 2011 hail storm.
VicRoads may accept an interstate written-off vehicle inspection, however it reserves the right to require a vehicle entered on the WOVR (including specific interstate vehicles classified as inspected write-offs) to undergo the VIV inspection to ensure that the vehicle is correctly identified and repaired appropriately. To find out whether a vehicle is required to undergo the VIV inspection, please contact VicRoads on 13 11 71.
some dirty Victorian term
