A WOF isn’t just a requirement for your registration, it is a safety inspection that helps identify issues which could affect your ability to drive safely.

What is checked during a WOF inspection?

During a WOF inspection, your vehicle is checked against New Zealand’s minimum safety standards. This includes the condition and performance of your brakes, steering and suspension, as well as the roadworthiness of your tyres. We also check important safety and visibility components such as lights, indicators, windscreen condition, washers and wipers, mirrors, and seatbelts. The vehicle structure is also inspected, including rust in critical areas that could impact safety.

Once the inspection is complete, we’ll confirm whether your vehicle has passed or if repairs are required before a WOF can be issued.

What happens if my vehicle fails its WOF?

If your vehicle doesn’t meet the standard, don’t worry. A failed WOF is common and often relates to issues that can be repaired quickly. Our team will clearly explain what needs attention and help you understand what is required for the vehicle to pass. We focus on being practical and helpful, and we’ll always keep you informed before any work goes ahead.
