What isn’t checked
The roadworthiness test isn’t a check of the mechanical reliability or general condition of a vehicle. A Certificate of Roadworthiness does not mean that:
the vehicle is in top condition without any wear or deterioration
non-safety related accessories (such as the air conditioner, rear window demister and rear-window wipers) are working
the items checked during the roadworthy inspection will continue to function after the inspection, e.g. a brake light can stop functioning at any time after the inspection
the vehicle complies with all of the Australian Design Rules (ADRs)
