In Australia, a roadworthy (RWC) is a basic safety check, not a full health spa for your car.
Inspectors look at tyres and wheels, brakes, steering and suspension, lights and indicators, windscreen, windows, wipers and washers, seatbelts and SRS, body integrity and rust, leaks, and any glaring defects or dodgy mods.
They’ll want it to start, stop and steer properly—radical, I know—and they’ll frown at bald tyres, cracked screens, blown bulbs, or medieval brake pads.
The checklist varies by state and territory, so check your local rules before booking, lest you fail over a missing washer jet and a bruised ego.
