What Is a WOF?

A Warrant of Fitness (WOF) is a regular vehicle inspection required by NZTA to ensure your vehicle is safe to drive on New Zealand roads. It’s not just a legal requirement — it’s a way to protect you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road.

How Often Do I Need a WOF?

New vehicles: First WOF at 3 years from new
Vehicles registered before 2000: Every 6 months
Vehicles registered after 2000: Every 12 months

What We Check in a WOF Inspection

Our certified WOF inspectors check all safety-critical components, including:

Tyre tread and pressure
Brakes (pads, lines, operation)
Suspension and steering
Lights and indicators
Wipers and washers
Seatbelts and seat mounts
Vehicle structure and rust

Glass (windscreen, mirrors, visibility)

What If My Car Fails the WOF?

No stress. If your vehicle doesn’t pass, we’ll clearly explain the issue and give you a quote for the repairs. In most cases, we can fix the problem and retest it — often the same day.
