Vehicle Safety Inspections
In many countries, governments mandate a vehicle safety inspection where a professional mechanic examines a vehicle for safety-related issues. The specific items inspected vary by country or region but generally include items such as brakes, steering, lights, tires and mirrors. In some jurisdictions, a safety inspection is required before a vehicle can be registered or operated on public roads.
There are many reasons why safety inspections are important. They ensure that vehicles are safe to operate and can help catch potential problems before they become serious (and expensive) repairs. Safety Inspections can also help identify recalled parts that need to be repaired or replaced.

Sydney Standards for Vehicle Inspection
In Australia, all motor vehicles must undergo a safety inspection at least once a year or when the registration is renewed. The safety inspection process involves examining the vehicle for roadworthiness and compliance with relevant motor vehicle standards.
The process is overseen by the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) in New South Wales. The RMS publish a guide to vehicle safety inspections that outlines what needs to be checked. This includes the following:
- Brakes, including handbrakes and parking brakes, should be checked for wear and proper operation.
- Steering, including steering components like the steering box, power steering pump and lines should be checked for any signs of fluid leaks or worn parts. The noise level when turning the steering wheel should also be noted.
- Lights and indicators must all be operational and in good condition.
- Tyres and wheels should be inspected for wear, pressure and damage.
- Mirrors must all be in the correct position, free from cracks or damage and operational.
- Seatbelts should all be checked and replaced if necessary.
- Windscreen wipers and washers should be functional.
- The exhaust system should be checked for any signs of leaks or damage.
- The fuel system should also be inspected for any signs of leakage.
By ensuring that a vehicle is safe and compliant with the relevant regulations, safety inspections can help protect both drivers and other road users from injuries caused by preventable mechanical failures.
It’s important to keep up with regular safety inspections to ensure that any potential problems can be caught and addressed in a timely manner.
What is Diagnostic Scanning?
A diagnostic scan is a test performed with a vehicle diagnostic scanner that retrieves information from the computerized control system of a vehicle. This information can be used to help diagnose and repair problems with the vehicle. A diagnostic scan can also clear trouble codes and reset the onboard computer system.
While most modern vehicles are equipped with an onboard diagnostics (OBD) system, these systems’ specific features and capabilities can vary widely. Some OBD systems are basic, only providing information on engine trouble codes. Other systems are much more sophisticated, offering data on various vehicle systems, including transmission, brakes, and suspension.
