What’s Checked in a Pink Slip (eSafety) Inspection
We follow the required safety standards to assess the vehicle’s roadworthiness. The inspection focuses on safety-critical items and visible defects. You’ll receive a clear explanation of any fail points and the simplest path to rectify them.
- Brakes: Operation, pad/shoe thickness where visible, fluid leaks and brake performance
- Tyres & wheels: Tread depth, condition, matching sizes and load/speed ratings
- Steering & suspension: Excessive play, worn joints or bushes, leaking shocks/struts
- Lights & electrics: Headlights (high/low beam), indicators, brake/reverse lights, number-plate lights, horn
- Windscreen & wipers: Cracks in critical zones, washer operation, blade condition
- Seatbelts & restraints: Mountings, fraying, latching and retracting function
- Body & chassis: Excessive corrosion at structural points, sharp edges, insecure components
- Leaks & exhaust: Fuel and oil leaks, exhaust security and excessive noise
- Number plates: Secure mounting and visibility
Note: The Pink Slip is a safety inspection—not a full mechanical diagnosis. If you’d like a comprehensive check, ask about our pre-purchase and logbook inspections.
