Default rego check failure and possible compensation, reprisal?

hey,
the story is, my lady friends hi lux,s ball joint ripped/fell out in Sydney centre. The car L.H. lower ball joint totally separated from the lower control arm. The car was immobilized.

Lucky the ute was travelling at 5km/h, . But getting a tow on christmas eve was expensive, and finally a tow about 100kms to my place for repair.

The problem imo is the the car was rego checked in October (2019), and that a totally rooted ball joint should have been picked up and replaced. The owner is a mature aged lady that,s unaware of car stuff. So 10 weeks after a rego check the death trap of a car collapses. in town.

Im going to see this machinic, and i think some compensation is in order. I,m mainly ****ed that this has happened and that someone could have been killed or worse, really could have happened. Not happy!

i,m just seeking options of is there a case for compensation and or reporting to the authorizes, thanks.
Mick
