Quick Tips

These are the following tests you can conduct at home prior to making an appointment to give you an indication if your vehicle will pass a Roadworthy Inspection.

Measure the depth of the tread on the tyres. Any part of a tyre which comes into contact with the road must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm.

Check all your lights to ensure that they are working. All exterior lights (Except Fog Lights) must be fully operational and visible in daylight conditions. While checking lights, also look for cracked or severely scratched lenses.

Check to ensure all your seat belts can be securely buckled and tensioners are working.
