    Road worth approved on non road worthy car?

    Hi guys,

    I bought a Forester XT last week. The previous owner had a Road Worthy certificate done by Subaru Service centre while having lots of other things replaced. Such as windshield, suspension bushes etc...

    However, after driving it for a week and doing night driving for the first time, i found out that one of the headlights were fogging up with moisture built up inside, which i guess must have failed the lowbeam. Luckily the otherside works.

    I found it would cost upwards of $400 to get the headlight replaced. As i dont have that amount of cash lying around... Is it Subaru's fault that this had been over looked?

    Please any advice appreciated. Should i be covered in by the "laws of roadworthness"?

    Thanks
    Simon

    Its your fault for not checking when you purchased the car.

    the roadworthy condition is their responsibility, however be careful as to what determines or is required with a roadworthy. Also, if there is a foggy headlight and even if it IS covered under roadworthy, they wont dish out $400 to fix it, at best they will polish it to a loosely acceptable condition.

    can you do it yourself and save yourself the headache?

    Guys, by "fogging with moisture", OP means condensation not UV damage. I doubt an RWC would include a wet weather vehicle check
