Frequently Asked Questions

Are your inspection reports delivered digitally?

All Inspections completed by Victorian Bus Inspections are done so with a complete digital approach. Any critical fail items will be verified with either a video or photo provided to you in your inspection report to ensure any repairs required can be easily carried out by your mechanic.

Who can carry out bus annual Inspections?

Bus Annual Inspections can only be carried out by a licenced bus tester at a licenced site. Licenced bus testers must meet stringent compliance requirements regulated by VicRoads. Victorian Bus Inspectors are licenced Heavy & Light Bus testers.

Do you use a roller brake tester as part of the bus annual inspection?

All bus annual inspections are carried out using one of our state-of-the-art portable roller brake testers or our in-ground roller brake tester. This is a mandatory requirement for all bus annual inspections.

Can Victorian Bus Inspections do annual inspections onsite?

Yes we can, with the use of our portable roller brake testers and setting your site up as a licenced site.

Does my bus require annual & quarterly Inspections?

While there are some exclusions of buses that do not require annual inspections (ie: Local bus service with 12 seats or less that is not operating for hire/reward) its best to contact us to discuss your exact circumstances.

What is the difference between a roadworthy inspection & Annual inspection?

In summary a roadworthy inspection is carried out when you purchase, sell or transfer ownership of a bus. A bus annual inspection is completed every 12 months – from the date of the initial roadworthy as part of your bus compliance. A bus annual inspection does vary from a roadworthy inspection and therefore cannot be used for the sale or transfer of a bus.

Is my vehicle a heavy or light bus?

If a bus has a seating capacity of 12 or fewer passengers, it falls under the category of a light bus. Heavy buses are buses with 12 or more seats including the driver.

Do you have a critical failure review process?

We believe in transparency, if your bus has a critical failure that you would like further clarification on. You can either speak to the licenced tester who completed your test or contact the office to discuss with our senior management.

Do I need to come back for a second inspection?

If your bus fails an inspection, you do not need to re-present for a second inspection. However, you must maintain records to show that you have carried out repairs of the failed items & you cannot use your bus for any services until repairs have been completed. However, if you would prefer a second inspection to be completed for improved transparency for your compliance records, we can do this.

What does a Bus Annual or Quarterly Bus Inspection cost?

$290+ GST
