SHOCKING MOTOR VEHICLE ROAD WORTHY CENTRE

They issued a Road Worthy Certificate after a 10-minute inspection and then the vehicle did not even have a passenger seatbelt and more...

We bought a used vehicle from AUTOWIZE in Bergvliet that was advertised as being in an "Excellent Condition" and it passed road-worthy through Diep River Roadworthy Centre after an inspection of ONLY 10 MINUTES which was shocking to see which we realised when we viewed the RWC details when the vehicle was re-registered.

A few days after we received the vehicle and transported children, we realised that the passenger's seatbelt was cut off and over the next days we realised that the reverse lights did not work, all 4 tyres were worn and cracked on the inside and the exhaust was rusted.

AUTOWIZE's email response to us a week after we informed them about these issues, was: "WE HAVE LIASED WITH DIEP RIVER ROADWORTHY CENTRE WHO HAVE INFORMED US THAT THE- NOT PICKING UP REAR SEATBELT- WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE ON THEIR BEHALF AND HAVE APOLOGISED PROFUSELY. HOWEVER THE TYRES WERE IN ROADWORTHY CONDITION ON THEIR INSPECTION AND THE REVERSE LIGHT WAS WORKING. THEY ARE GENERALLY VERY STRICT AND WOULD HAVE POINTED OUT ANY FAULTS ON YOUR CAR."
