What Isn't Checked?

A roadworthy inspection doesn't tell you if your car is mechanically reliable or what the general condition of the vehicle is.

Does NOT mean:

  • • Good condition without wear
  • • Non-safety items working

Safety compliance:

Inspections comply with Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and Vehicle Standards Information (VSI's).
