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).
