What if my commercial vehicle fails the test?

All re-tests must be completed within 21 calendar days and within 4,000 kms of the initial test. Failure to do so will require a FULL test and full test fee will apply. A visual re-test is free of charge. All other re-tests which require the use of a lane and test equipment are set out on the above RSA price list.

All vehicle fail items should be repaired immediately and the test centre contacted to re-book the vehicle for re-test as soon as possible.
