Failed Rwc Because Of Rust, Really?

[AlexR34]

A mate of mine today went to get RWC for his car and he failed because there was like a tiney amount of rust on the front and rear passenger door. Were talking like 5c coin sizes. I was just wondering why does rust fail the RWC, I dont see how it effects the vehicle on the Road and when I did my RWC a couple of days ago I dont recall seing a box that said anything about rust.

So any info would be great on this because I'm also looking at buying another car and the guy said it has some minor rust.

Cheers,

Aleks

yeah rust is a nono

but some people misinterprite the rules regarding rust and compliance ti rwc standards

afaik only structural rust or rust holes in a panel are a fail bubbles are not

as i said thats what ive always been told and ive never had a problem adhering to that

Hmm, I think i might stear clear from the vehicle then I don't want to start fixing crap thats rusted lol.

How old is the vehicle? If their are little rust spots who knows how many times the car has been filled with bog then covered over. I'd be careful.

There is a way though... if he doesnt want to properly fix the rust right now just use bog and spray paint it so no visible rust = RWC

Happened to me ages ago and was told as long as there's no visible rust should be fine for RWC

Whats wrong with them, I need information. And they are not all related. I know I asked for a RWC and now the rust issue, but its not related its for two separate vehicles. 1 car I have now (thats the one that went for the RWC), The other is owned by a friend and then when I went to look at another car to buy as project it had some rust on it, and my mate was telling me that his one failed the road worthy because it had rust, so I just wanted to check what the rules are around that area. The car I was looking at wasn't registered so I presumed it would need to be towed, but apparently you can get a on day rego.

So tell me o wise one what is so retarded about my posts? We cant all be smart like you COL and build 300KW monsters and know everything about everything and every rule and towing company in QLD. So sorry if my posts were retarded to you.
