Great to see the competent authorities doing their thing to get dangerous vehicles off the road, I for one am very happy to have my vehicle checked every year and pay my hard earned cash to make sure I've done my bit.

My guess is that the rear differential/axle housing has been modified. It’s possibly been changed out (not a straight replacement, but a part from a different model/type of vehicle) and required cutting and re-welding to be either shortened or lengthened to fit.
One of the new welded connections has failed, it looks like it was only partially welded, you can see on the broken edges, the silver grey colored areas are were it was welded, the dirty brown area was not welded.

I dont think that 50% of the big trucks in the KOW would pass the most simple tech check up.
