No. Roadworthy check does not cover all area's of ADR's.
For roadworthy, my memory says top portion of tyre tread must be under guard from above. Hence stretched tyres are legal.

Best example is on exhausts. ADR has static & drive by noise levels.
Road worthy only cares about static test, hence can be louder.
