Depends what they find. No one here will definitely know whats broken on your car except the people who will look at it.

[fonzo]

i should say...its never had underbody work...no bushes or anything except what listed. im to the understanding the vs has some common problems. and for the amount of km on im trying to work out roughly how long these parts last etc.

What it needs depends on who you take it to

Where are you located?

shepparton.. i dont mind driving a bit further if i need to

[westbad]

what did you get defected on?

[hako]

In Qld you need to look out for frayed seat belts, slow retracting seatbelts, 3 of 4 power windows must work, all brake lines/calipers/hoses etc must be bone dry, same for power steering, not drop oil on floor whilst being tested, usual lights/wipers etc etc. At 180K all bushes should still be OK.
You may find that your state roads authority has a website which lists items to inspect - qld has one.
Good Luck.

defected on . tyres. uneven ware i knew this i was going to book it in monday i found they were a bit bald on friday too low apprently. and no suspention travel.

( too low apprently. and no suspention travel.

I gather that's what "slammed" means....in that case I would guess you'd need to take it back as near as possible to factory standard.
In Qld, you can go to an authorised inspection station, which is another name for a garage and get a report on what needs doing for a RWC...this gives you more breathing space as it's not official. The cost of this inspection is usually subtracted from the cost of the official RWC.
