What a warrant inspection covers
The WoF inspection is a general safety check. The aspects checked are set out in our Vehicle inspection requirements manual (external link)
(VIRM) and include:
1. tyre condition (including tread depth)
2. brake operation
3. structural condition (rust is not allowed in certain areas)
4. lights
5. glazing (is your windscreen safe?)
6. windscreen washers and wipers
7. doors (do they open and close safely?)
8. safety belts (must not be damaged or overly faded;
buckles must work properly)
9. airbags (if fitted)
10. speedometer (must be working)
11. steering and suspension (must be safe and secure)
12. exhaust (there must be no leaks
and the exhaust must not be smoky or louder than the original exhaust system)
13. fuel system (there must be no leaks).
If you’ve modified your car, motorcycle, van or other light vehicle you may need a low volume vehicle certificate.
How often a WoF is required
Vehicles first registered anywhere in the world on
or after 1 January 2000 will need annual WoF inspections
for their lifetime.
For new vehicles,
after an initial inspection, another WoF inspection won't
be required until the 3rd anniversary of their first registration.
The length of time a WoF is issued for is calculated based on
the vehicle’s date of first registration in New Zealand
or overseas,
and are described in more detail in the table below
(Length of WoF for light motor vehicles).
When was the vehicle first registered
anywhere in the world?/How long the WoF is issued for
New vehicle that’s never been registered : WoF is issued for three years
Less than two years ago : WoF is issued to the vehicles third ‘birthday’ (third anniversary of when it was first registered)
More than two years ago, but less than three years ago : WoF is issued for 12 months
On or after 1 January 2000 : WoF is issued for 12 months
Before 1 January 2000 : WoF is issued for 6 months
