Thread: Perentie Failed Pits Inspection

I have seen several Perenties driving around on WA plates without any mods to the parts mentioned here. A member on here who I will not name in case DoT are reading also got a (1985?) 120 over the pits (the govt pits before they started farming out inspections) with a perentie bulbar and tool holders fitted.

Maybe they got in early before this apparent crackdown?

Also keep in mind that last I checked if you have owned the vehicle interstate for >12 months it does not need to be inspected.

Try another registry or as commented above check if the new compliance's were made retrospective hopefully in 5 months my chang over will be smooth, where in WA are you?

I have a WA Dpt Transport MDL class codes card here.
It states.
LR max 8t GVM(no axle limit)
MR more than 8t GVM(2 axle only)
HR more than 8t GVM(no axle limit); +/- trailer(max 9t GVM)

I guess the GVM is the deciding factor,what is the GVM rating of a 6x6???

6x6 5.6t GVM
You can drive a vehicle with a GVM of up to 4.5t or 12 seats on a car license.

Thanks Andy that's the same answer I got I ended up doing a HR in case a copper in some remote area decided I needed HR because of the 3 axles, I did it through RAC great not to have to deal with DoT for a change.
