Thread: Defender 90 Pit Inspection WA

I used to , now it is in one ear and out the other . It is only a small portion of my business , like serving summons , water off a ducks back really .
Most are young bogans with HSV's jet ski's and huge homes .. lose their jobs and everything that has been tacked onto the mortgage goes with the house when you lock it up . It's a hard lesson for them , but its not me that signs the loan papers .
I am from Islander decent , so big built and a team of Maori tow truck drivers waiting help lol

Fingers Crossed!!

You just need the rego number and VIN AFAIK???

Best to do it anyway, it is onlt $14ish - if unencumbered all is well - if it has $$$ owing then get a lawyer!!!!

i read on the WA DPI website you need to own your car for more than twelve months. was this a drama when getting the car inspected/regoed

minerma. . .all this means is if you have owned the (registered) car for 12 months or more interstate, then it will not need to be inspected to transfer it to WA registration - you just need to do the paperwork and pay the fees (including stamp duty?) at the Department of Transport.

If you've owned the car for less than 12 months, or are a WA resident buying a car from interstate, then you will need an inspection.

In my experience with four different cars (a '69 Citroen DS, a '62 Thunderbird, a '93 Suzuki Cappuccino and a '89 Nissan Pao. . .sadly no Defenders. . .) the pit inspections are quite reasonable - provided your car isn't a complete piece of junk and it's clean and well presented then all is generally OK. I tend to think it's got as much to do with your attitude as it has with your car. . .if you're unpleasant and argumentative, then you're out the door. . .

Hope this helps. . .
