Roadworthy inspection is designed to check the vehicle to make sure that its important auto parts are in a good condition that is enough for safe road use.
Safety is the most important and obvious reason to inspect your vehicle. A vehicle defect found during an inspection could save you problems later. You could have a breakdown on the road that will cost time and dollars, or even worse, a crash.
RAC inspections are undertaken by the RAC for private buyers, dealers or fleet managers. They include inspection and roadworthy tests, checks that the parts and the vehicle are legitimate and that the car is a good price.
A Blue Slip is a safety inspection report issued by the RTA to prove that a vehicle has passed the required roadworthy, design and identity standards for registration.
A car may not pass inspection if the tire pressure light is on, as it indicates a potential issue with tire pressure that needs to be addressed. Many inspection regulations require all warning lights to be off for the vehicle to be deemed safe and roadworthy. It's best to check and correct the tire pressure before the inspection to avoid any complications.
In New Hampshire, a car will not pass inspection if the airbags have been deployed. The vehicle must have functional airbags for it to be considered safe for the road, and if the airbags have been deployed, they need to be repaired or replaced before the vehicle can pass inspection. Additionally, the airbag warning light must be off for the car to be deemed roadworthy.
These days car or bike is about $150

Yes the goods are faulty, the car is not roadworthy.
Yes, if the vehicle is roadworthy, they are insured to drive it and hold a full licence.
Probably not, since you shouldn't take an unroadworthy car onto the public roads.
When taking a car to an inspection service, you should look for other happy customers that will provide a reference. Because you are relying on the input from the inspection service, it is very important that it is done right.
Salvage vehicle value is highly subjective but if the car was properly reconstructed and is roadworthy it is worth roughly 60% of a comparable clean titled car. Go to nada.com to get an idea of the car's value. If it's salvage but not roadworthy, maybe 25% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
It means the car was totaled by an insurance company and rebuilt (to hopefully roadworthy standards!)
