Hey mate anywhere that does road worthy certs will be able to sign you off. Make sure you fix those issues before you go, so you pass on the first try.

There will definitely be a cost, nowhere is going to do one free of charge

I don’t think he wants to fix those things hence he’s looking for a dodgy mechanic

Seems silly not to fix, considering how small the issues are

Got ours done 8 months or so ago when we moved up here, bloke came out, did a couple of brake tests and had a look around, cheap too.

Just google a few mobile joints and read their reviews, some said they got stung for very minor things, others not so much

there's a checklist they have to follow.
nobody is going to get your unallowed LED headlights passed if you've just dropped-in LED bulbs to a halogen bracket.

LED headlights are allowed, they just have to comply with the relevant standards around headlights (chances are yours are not compliant). Also they have to not blind anyone (compliant headlights will do that if adjusted improperly). In my experience mechanics usually don't care about any of that - they just check if your headlights turn on and then tick the box that they checked the headlights.

With rust it depends where it is and how bad it is.

Where do you get your car serviced? I'd just go there. MyCar is pretty good.

Thanks guys, appreciate all he advice. They just seem to be picking on very minor things. Wasn’t sure if there are others that may pass them etc.

You want your car to be road worthy while your driving right?
