Hi all,
I have just upgraded from a 2004 Prado to a shiny 2016 model - yay! I acquired it from a private seller in Cairns, who had (it appears) spent a lot of time and money fitting it out with lots of extras. Hopefully it will soon be on its way via truck to SA.
As this vehicle was registered in Queensland, however, I am required to submit it for a 'Vehicle Identification Inspection' at Regency Park before I submit my application for registration.
My concern is that they 265/70/R17 tyres currently fitted may not be legal, as they are more than 15mm larger than the specified 265/65/R17 tyres (27mm larger in fact). The suspension has also been lifted by 50mm, so I don't think that I use the clause in that section.
Does anyone have any experience with an identification inspection? Are they only going to look at the VIN/Engine numbers, or do they look at other roadworthy aspects of the vehicle?
Thanks
Cam
