What is a Warrant of Fitness (WOF)?
A Warrant of Fitness (WOF) is a legal safety inspection that helps ensure your vehicle meets New Zealand's road safety standards. During a WOF inspection, our qualified inspectors examine a range of safety-critical components to confirm they are in good working order.
A standard WOF inspection includes checks of:
- Brakes and braking performance
- Steering and suspension
- Tyres and wheel condition
- Lights, indicators and electrical safety equipment
- Windscreen, mirrors and windscreen wipers
- Seatbelts and safety restraints
- Doors, seats and structural integrity
- Vehicle glazing and visibility
- Exhaust system and emissions requirements
- General vehicle condition affecting road safety
If your vehicle passes, you'll receive a new Warrant of Fitness (WOF) certificate. If any items require attention, we'll clearly explain what needs to be repaired before a reinspection, with no unnecessary upselling or hidden surprises.
