The invention relates to a vehicle composite test apparatus in which various tests of a vehicle are carried out with the tires placed or fixed on support bases and serving as means to be detected or measured. In particular, the invention provides a vehicle composite test apparatus in which the vehicle center line Lc and the measurement reference line Ls can be easily and automatically aligned. In order to further enhance the operation of the apparatus, the invention also provides a parallel moving mechanism constituted such that a pair of moving platforms onto which the vehicle may be advanced, can be smoothly moved in parallel with precision, a tire guide apparatus for guiding tires precisely to desired tire measurement positions on said test apparatus, and a lock mechanism capable of easily and positively locking a pair of active juxtaposed rollers arranged at the tire measurement positions against rotation.
