I had to Google it: rego is perhaps Australian slang for automobile registration (that's a question...) ?

Haha, correct! So we have to register our cars to the state we live in, our authority is Roads and Maritime Services, RMS. Some states require roadworthy inspections annually on renewal, some only when a vehicle is bought then not again until it is sold again, which ultimately produces some pretty shitty cars on the road.

There are some cars that are crap magnets - normally 20 years old. They get to a point where they are considered worthless and end up getting beaten to death. The cars that survive that then start to gain value and even get treated better than newer cars when they fall into a niche like mini trucks. The statistics show that in S.A. is that 1% of vehicles that are involved in serious crashes are deemed defective at the time of the accident. It costs a fortune to inspect every car and stretches resources to do so (this is when small shops get kick backs for inspecting vehicles and some of them are guaranteed to be dealing under the table to pass cars) so for the time being, no inspections.
