Warrant of Fitness

Ensure your vehicle is road legal with a WOF

All vehicles, trailers and motorbikes are required to have a current Warrant of Fitness (WOF) to ensure they meet the required safety standards. The length of time a WOF is valid for, depends on the age of your vehicle and the date it was first registered in New Zealand. 

Howat Auto Services can inspect your vehicle and provide a WOF, and if it doesn't pass the inspection, we can usually fix the problem.

A WOF covers many aspects of your vehicle including:

• Tyre condition and tread depth
• Brake operation
• Structural condition (no rust in certain areas)
• Lights
• Windscreen safety, windscreen washers and wipers
• Doors
• Seatbelts
• Airbags (if fitted)
• Speedometer
• Steering and suspension
• Exhaust
• Fuel system

You can find more information about Warrant of Fitness checks on the NZTA website.
