What must be Checked Before Taking Your Car for ESafety Test?



Have you heard about the pink slip test?

If yes, you must also know that every car (that’s more than five years old) must have gone through the test. You can reach out to any registered mobile mechanics in Sydney to get your car checked.


For starters, An eSafety check (or a pink slip) is required for all the light vehicles older than five years for the purposes of registration renewal within in NSW.  These eSafety inspections are performed at authorised inspection stations by professional mechanics. Furthermore, the results of the inspection are electronically lodged with the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS).

There are a few things that’ll be inspected during the test by the mechanic. Read on to learn more about what will be tested and what must be checked to get your car pink slip certified.

Note: if you’re confused, eSafety test is just another name for the pink slip test.

Let’s begin

  • Areas of inspection include:
  • Vehicle body condition
  • Seatbelt operations and condition
  • Engine and driveline fluid leaks
  • Quality of tyre and tread depth
  • Operation of electrics such as blinkers, headlights dash lights
Brake efficiency test
Engine and driveline fluid leaks
Engine/exhaust/suspension and driveline condition

Rust: One of the essential things to note here is if a vehicle contains rust, it may be vulnerable to other significant issues as well, and might not pass the pink slip inspection. You can initially look for the signs of bubbles in the car paint.

Further, if there are signs of any visible oil leaks, including radiator or engine oil leaks, your vehicle is going to fail in the pink slip test.

Checking of Seat Belts: Pink slip inspection is a part safety test as well. Therefore, it’s pretty much necessary for the seat belts of your car to work correctly. You must also check the retractors, anchor points and seat belt lock.

Doors: Last but not least, it’s also essential to check if all the doors are working in all aspect. Are the locks getting locked automatically and can they be securely operated (locked and unlocked) from the inside and outside.

So, before you take your car to a Summer Hill mechanic, make sure you get the above certain things fixed.
