rwc check list

Chasing an RWC checklist? Think less concours d’elegance, more “will it survive the school run.”

Make sure tyres have legal tread, brakes stop straight, and steering/suspension isn’t clunking like a dropped toolbox.

All lights, seatbelts, windscreen/wipers, mirrors, and the horn must work; fix leaks, obvious rust, sharp body damage, and tidy any loose bits.

Doors, windows and latches should operate properly, no warning lights glowing, and the exhaust should be civilised rather than Saturday-night karaoke.

Requirements vary by state (e.g., RWC in VIC, Safety Certificate in QLD), so confirm local rules before booking the inspection.
