The car came with a State Roads inspection which did indicate that the front tyres were close to limits and that the rear shock had a minor weap however, it was indicated that it was still roadworthy.

I've never lived in NSW so I am unaware of the differences between 'pink' and 'blue' slips. The way it was explained to me BEFORE I purchased the car was the 'pink' slip is the roadworthy certificate required to get the car registered and that it had a 'pink' slip.

I'm annoyed as I believe it has been sold under false pretense, indicating the car was still road worthy however, it did have some wear and tear, which I was happy to accept. What I wasn't happy to accept is a shock that has far more than a minor weap and tyres that are well beyond legal limit. Both of which are major fail points here in QLD for the roadworthy.

Does anyone happen to know the exact requirements to meet roadworthy in NSW? As far as I'm aware the tyre wear limit is the same nation wide at 1.5mm but I'm not aware of requirements with shock absorbers. Anyone able to shed some light?
