TMR will not do anything.
They also know about "phonewortys".
That's a rwc done over the phone. Without anyone actually checking the car.
Lots of Car dealers do it like this.

Hi Sarkar.

I am Hernan Rojas and I have the same issue you have had 3 years ago.
I bought a car privately (I saw the car in Facebook Marketplace).
I am writing you because I would like get your feedback about how was your process and if you can got a refund or repair coast.
I reported it the RWC in QLD and they are asking me about fill the complaint from and I am guessing they will inspect the car.
How was your experience? Did you get something or it it a waste of time?
I read if I wanna recovery my money I have to to with a court and lawyer can be really expensive.


I went to see the car and it looks good but I saw before the car has cracked the windscreen but the guy told me I don't have to be worried about it because the car has passed the RWC.
I trust him but then when I started to read the car should not get passed the RWC. I WAS SCAMMED

I make a mechanical Inspection in another place that they make RWX and the car has 7 RWC issue.

  • Windscreen cracked
  • Hazard light not working
  • -Right front strut leaking
  • -Left rear bump stop worn
  • -Engine Light is on
  • -Dash cluster screen does not work – Can’t see odometer (Total kms)
  • -Breather hose from blow off valve has been blocked off)

So, if the RWC were legitimate the car would fail with the following:

  • Lamps (lights) and Electrical Components
  • Windscreen and Glazing (Windows)
  • Steering and Suspension
  • Engine, Driveline and Emissions
