What Car Owners Should Check Before Booking a Rego Inspection

A few simple checks before your inspection can improve your chances of passing the first time.

Check Your Tyres

Look for:

  • Low tread depth
  • Uneven wear
  • Cracks or bulges
  • Incorrect tyre pressures

Test All Lights

Check:

  • Headlights
  • Brake lights
  • Indicators
  • Reverse lights
  • Number plate lights

Inspect Wipers & Washers

Replace streaking or split wiper blades and ensure washer bottles are filled.

Listen for Unusual Noises

Knocking suspension noises, squealing brakes or steering clunks should be investigated before inspection day.

Look for Fluid Leaks

Oil spots on the driveway can indicate engine, gearbox or coolant leaks that may require repairs.

Check Warning Lights

If warning lights remain illuminated on the dashboard — especially ABS, airbag or engine lights — the vehicle should be diagnosed beforehand.

Inspect Your Windscreen

Even small cracks can become a defect if they affect driver visibility.
