WARRANT OF FITNESS

A Warrant of Fitness (WoF inspection) is a regular vehicle inspection to ensure that your vehicle meets required safety standards.

It’s your job to keep your vehicle up to WoF condition at all times. 

For example, while tyres on your vehicle may pass on the day of your warrant inspection, you’ll need to replace them as soon as the tread gets to the minimum depth. If you wait until the next inspection before replacing them, you increase your risk of having a crash or receiving a fine.

 All of the criteria for a warrant of fitness can be found on the NZTA website 

The WoF inspection is a general safety check. It includes:

• tyre condition (including tread depth)
• brake operation
• structural condition (rust is not allowed in certain areas)
• lights
• glazing (is your windscreen safe?)
• windscreen washers and wipers
• doors (do they open and close safely?)
• safety belts (must not be damaged or overly faded; buckles must work properly)
• airbags (if fitted)
• speedometer (must be working)
• steering and suspension (must be safe and secure)
• exhaust (there must be no leaks and the exhaust must not be smoky or louder than the original exhaust system)
• fuel system (there must be no leaks).

A WoF is not a pre-purchase inspection. It doesn’t include many areas of a vehicle's condition. For example, it doesn't check:

• engine, clutch, gearbox and differential condition
• Lubricant levels and condition 
• Brake pad thickness or life expectancy, unless they are visibly below safe limits 
• Paintwork conditions and some rust in non-structural areas.
