What happens if my vehicle fails the test?
 If your vehicle fails, our mechanics will issue you with a ‘fail report’. Then you have 21 days or 4000km (which ever comes first) to rectify the errors and have a retest. The cost of the test is halved, however if you fail to retest within the time limit, the full price will be charged.
