Your vehicle is in good hands with A1 Autos.
A warrant of fitness (WOF) is a regular check to ensure that your vehicle meets required safety standards, is road worthy and safe.
Newly registered vehicles on their third birthday and built after January 1, 2000 require yearly warrants. Older vehicles require warrants every six months.
Our fully qualified, MTA-trained warrant inspectors use the latest diagnostic equipment, and will advise you of any required repair work. We are also happy to provide a quote for parts and services.
The WOF inspection is a general safety check. The aspects checked are set out in the NZTA Vehicle inspection requirements manual (see red box).
What a warrant inspection covers:
- Tyre condition (including tread depth)
- Brake operation
- Structural condition (rust is not allowed in certain areas)
- Lights
- Glazing (is your windscreen safe?)
- Windscreen washers & wipers
- Doors (do they open & close safely?)
- Safety belts (must not be damaged or overly faded, buckles must work properly)
- Air bags (if fitted)
- Speedometer (must be working)
- Steering & suspension (must be safe & secure)
- Exhaust (there must be no leaks & the exhaust must not be smoky or louder than the original exhaust system)
- Fuel system (there must be no leaks).
