The Truck & Trailer CVRT Test Results
When your vehicle has completed its CVR test, we will give you a report outlining the results of the test. You will receive one of the following:
A pass statement, meaning that your vehicle has passed the CVR test. We will automatically send the CRW to the registered owner of the vehicle.
A test report advising you that your vehicle has failed the CVR test. The vehicle owner must get the vehicle repaired and re-present it for a CVR retest at the same testing centre within 21 days or it having travelled less than 4,000 km. When your vehicle completes and passes the retest, we will automatically issue a CRW to the registered owner of the vehicle.
