Just got a quick question,maybe someone could shed some light on the matter

Late last year I purchased a car from NSW and brought it back to QLD,rego wasn't due till next year and owner said it was ok to use the rest of his rego

So couple of days before rego was due I took it through a RWC pasted with flying colours
Went to Queensland transport to rego it in my name and it had been a repairable write-off in NSW due to floods in 2005 over 7 years ago

In NSW there were two ways to get a written off car back on the road one of which was a blue slip which made the car go under a full inspection or the 2nd was to write a stat-dec saying you had repaired the car and it was fit for the road

Sure enough it had the 2nd option and required to under go a full inspection with QIS (h0mos)
So I booked it in with QIS to make sure the car was the car in question and to check the identity of it e.g VIN numbers match the paper work on the system

They ended up failing me due to the car having 2 hair line cracks in chassis and won't pass it until I have them fixed
Couple of days later I received the invoice and reading in the terms and conditions I came across this;

*the inspections carried out for the sole purpose of confirming the identify of the vehicle and QIS does not make any represention to warranty whatsoever in relation to the vehicle, whether relating to its roadworthiness ,fitness for purpose ,standard of repairs otherwise

I will be getting the car fixed but from the statement in their terms of conditions it says they can't do what they have done

They are honestly about 7mm long,two Lil bits of poo from a welder will fix it, when I rang QIS up the chick went nuts at me because I was contesting it, apparently the inspectors have the right to not let a car pass even thou its an identity check and the car has a RWC?

Their inspectors have at least 5 years training in the automotive industry and know everything

Funny thing is he won't pass it due to not being safe but watched me drive it out the car park back home
This is the Queensland govt. at its finest anything for a dollar

To be fair on some of the guys that work there at the WOVI, they are pretty sharp at spotting dodgy shit, but I am surprised they pinged you on that minor defect from what you describe.

The system is getting more and more fkd, there used to be some coin in fixing up repairable writeoffs, now just not worth the hassle

A hairline crack in the firewall/strut tower, while not being a big thing right now, will only get larger. It is something that they should be pulling people up on, last thing you want is the fcuking strut tower seperating from the car because that crack turned into a gaping whole from stress over the years.

as someone who has been through the WOVI inspection process they might claim it's just an identity check but they infact do go over the entire car the statement is just to cover their ass if something they inspect as being legitimate ends up failing catastrophically.

so while they don't cinfirm the car fit for the road they can infact knock a car back for being unfit

this part
represention to warranty whatsoever in relation to the vehicle. means that they do not warrant the work that has been undertaken to get the vehicle past the WOVI. meaning you accept the work done as it is and if it fails thats on you. the rest of the statement relates to what is considered part of these non warranty items that may have been done.

the part saying the inspections are carried out for the sole purpose of identifiing the vehicle is to ensure that during their inspection of the car everything that should have done has been done and that the parts used can be tracked. to ensure they are not from stolen cars. i.e you needed to replace an engine this is listed in your submission with the old and new engine numbers along with the vin the engine came out of (yes they will ask for the vin if the source cannot be verified by a receipt from say a wrecker).

so yes the inspection is determine it's identity but it also determines if the car is fit for the road while making no guarantees to that fact despite having a roadworthy cert since any old joe can issue one of those and not truly know if the car is structurally sound

This was my interpretation somewhat. My understanding is that if you bought the car with a warranty. The fact that they failed your vehicle does not mean they will give you a report or represent your argument to the seller for a warranty job to fix why they failed it. You are on your own as they are a government agency to be represented for warranty you need a private engineers certificate stating the same thing off topic I know

And I agree with everyone here in that a hairline crack today is a major crack tomorrow... Go get a hairline fracture of your leg bone and keep running on it. Do you think it will get better with stress?

Queensland Inspection Services is a private company who got the contact from the Qld government to do identity checks on repairable writeoffs back in 2002 or 2003. They charge $435 for an hours work per car and have no liability. In the early years their website said the charge was so high because they might have to give refunds if they passed a stolen cars etc. But after a couple of years that disappared off their website, and now its says no responsibility even if they stuff up.

They also said the price is because that's what Vic charge and NSW use to charge. They fail to mention places like NT charged nothing for a repairable writeoff check. This is one of those situation where the cost they charge for the service in no way = the cost of providing the service. There should be at lest 3 companies doing written off vehicle inspections in QLD to keep it fair.
