Default Roadworthies

Just a question....I am trying to sell my BA XT falson with SL's all round, to pass a roadworthy will it need to have the standard springs fitted?

Also what exactly do they test for in a roadworthy?

My car is mechanically sound (so I think anyway) so I am weighing up the option of whether to sell the car cheaper without roadworthy or get it done.

Thanks for the help!

Question

if they are legal spring then they will be ok. In a road worthy they check

Tyres for legal in size and condition
Lights
mirrors
rust
Engine and chassis no
interior in right place
steering wheel
glass
paint in all the same
oil leaks
brake test
seat belts
all doors work and lock
and anything else they see fit to look at.

cheers

brian

If its lowered, they may check the security of the springs on the hoist with the suspension fully extended. Shorter springs may have the tendency to fall out.
