Dodgy Road Worthy

[troy_slip]

Hi,

A question about a Victorian Road worthy certificate.

I purchased a Mondeo Zetec 09 that was supplied with a road worthy, I took it for a tyre check up at Beaurepaires. They told me that the back tyres are bold and all 4 are the wrong load rating, they gave me a report on that.*

The tyres that are on are:
Dunlop SP Sport 3000A 235/45 R17 94W .
Beaurepaires said that the manufactures load limit is 97 and not 94, are they correct on.

Spoke to the mechanic who didn't want to hear any of it, his excuse that maybe the 60 yr old seller or myself either did burns outs or changed the tyres as he has photos of the back tyres that just passed RW. 400k's have been done since his inspection.

I called Vic Roads who told me to send a copy of the RWC and copy from Beaurepairs so they can investigate and hopefully take his licence. Do you think VicRoads will only check the tyres or do a full RW check to see what else is wrong. Also will Vic Roads actually take away the mechanics licence or just warn him.

I then have to lodge a VCAT claim to recover the cost of the new tyres I will have to puchase.

Do I have a case with Vic Roads and VCAT or am I wasting my time, any advice?

Thank you.
