112 Registration of written-off vehicles
The Secretary may only register a vehicle to which section 16F(3) or (4) of the Act applies, following an application for registration under this Part, if—
(a) the application for registration is made more than 15 years after the date of manufacture of the vehicle; or
(b) in the case of a vehicle whose vehicle identifier is the same as that of a vehicle entered on an interstate written-off vehicles register as a repairable write-off, the application for registration is not made more than 15 years after the date of manufacture of the vehicle and—
(i) the Secretary has been given a VIV certificate in the approved form, issued for the vehicle not more than 3 months before the date of the application for registration; or
(ii) if the Secretary does not require a VIV certificate, the Secretary is satisfied that—
(A) the interstate written-off vehicles register records that the vehicle has been inspected to confirm it is the vehicle to which the relevant vehicle identifier was assigned; and
(B) the vehicle has since been registered in that jurisdiction; or
(c) in any other case, the Secretary has been given a VIV certificate in the approved form, issued for the vehicle not more than 3 months before the date of the application for registration.
A vehicle to which section 16F(3) or (4) of the Act applies has the same vehicle identifier as a vehicle entered on the register of written-off vehicles (or on an equivalent interstate register) as a repairable write-off. A vehicle that has the same vehicle identifier as a statutory write-off cannot be registered—see section 16F(1) and (2) of the Act.
