I see what you're saying. I was more referring to the dash itself, rather than the engine bay area. I couldn't see that being an issue. So it's my bad for being a little slack with my explanation.

Reviving an old thread.
What about a crack in the driving / fog lights? YOu know the ones in the front bumper. Would that fail? |

Ask around...usually in most areas around the state you can find a guy like the one who did the roadworthy on an old Corolla for one of our sons (no names, no pack drill). I knew there were a couple of minor points that needed fixing...nothing safety related, but just a minor oil weep here and there and a couple of chips in the windscreen, but I knew that they wouldn't pass. I just really wanted to find out what needed fixing so I could get a safety certificate.
When I turned up, the guy had a look and said "So is the roadworthy for you or to sell the car?"...this implied to me there was two roadworthies he did...one strict one for sale, a big more lenient one if it is just you registering the car for yourself. Shop around... |

No naked lights allowed. So yes, it'd fail.

Yep, failed.
2 cracked fog lights and a cracked PVC pipe of some sort. Will just trade the car now. |
