What Is A Safety Check?
Safety checks are basic mechanical checks, targeting certain vehicle components that may cause a risk to vehicle occupants and other road users if they are not operating correctly or are excessively worn.
After your vehicle has passed the safety check, the station sends a report to the RTA electronically.
Examiners will check the following vehicle component during a safety check:
- Vehicle identification (AUVIS only)
- Brakes
- Steering and suspension
- Wheels and tyres
- Body condition
- Seats and seat belts
- Lights and headlight aim
- Engine / drive line
- Exhaust system
- Towing attachment
- LPG system (accredited examiners only)
- Number plates (obscured, faded, unauthorised)
