Just remember guys, QLD has some pretty stupid RWC rules, just because something is classified unroadworthy doesn't mean it's a deathtrap.
Empty Washer bottle? FAIL
Crack in a tail-light? FAIL
A drop of oil on the swaybar? FAIL
No pattern printed on the top of the manual shifter? FAIL
A parker bulb out? FAIL
A single spot of rust in a panel? FAIL

Does that make the van a death-trap? No. Does it make it 'unroadworthy'? Yes.

Out of 86 vehicles, only 4 passed the safety cert. However, if you read on, only 5 were pulled from the road. Therefore, only 5 out of the 86 were really 'Un-Road-Worthy' in the true sense of the word. In the case of these 5, then yes, they shouldn't be hired.
