ok i understand your point about "fraud" (as it is a contract it is actually misrepresentation).

but consideration is still needed, and $1 for a car isnt sufficient consideration. most courts will rule that no contract existed unless SUFFICIENT consideration is offered.

and my opinion is based on case study.

He has about 0 chance of getting his money back from yourself and getting your mechanic to fix the problem.

A RWC is very very limited in what you need to check for.

Brake pads only have to have X amount of thickness, same for rotors etc.

Oil leaks cannot be visible at time of inspection (do you know how easy it is to degrease & Wash engine, get inspected and pass)

And the RWC Inspector cannot fail the vehicle, same for rust, paint over or bog rust and it cannot be failed (It must be visable)

I would never trust a roadworthy it says nothing about a vehicles condition other then it meets the minimum requirements which is very minimal!

I used to work for a major company doing roadworthies and its scary what can get through if you go by the book! We used to make people fix dodgy items that had tried to be hidden for the inspection etc... As it's more of your reputation you are protecting, not a legal issue.

Only times i have seen a company get done for a dodgy roadworthy, was a car was passed with visible rust in the chassis and rotors no thicker then a pencil. And issues that couldn't of been changed or altered. Hell the car could have a leaking head gasket and still pass roadworthy!

Most inspectors will turn around and say (especially months later) that the vehicle wasn't in that condition when inspected and then it must be proven it was which is bloody impossible for oil leaks or electrical failures, mechanical failures etc

My rule of thumb was always get a vehicle inspected by a performance workshop or trusted mechanic (Comp test and leak down tests are a must)
