FAQs: Wof / Warrant of Fitness Checks
How long does a WOF inspection take?
A standard WOF inspection takes around 45 minutes to an hour. If your vehicle requires repairs, we can provide a quote and carry out the necessary work.
What happens if my car fails its WoF?
If your vehicle fails its WoF (Warrant of Fitness), we’ll provide you with a detailed report outlining the issues and what needs to be fixed to pass. You then have 28 days to complete the necessary repairs and return to the same inspection location for a free recheck, as per NZTA regulations.
What is a WOF check, and why is it important?
A Warrant of Fitness (WOF) check is a mandatory vehicle inspection required by New Zealand law to ensure your car is safe to drive on the road. It involves checking key safety features such as lights, brakes, tyres, and structural integrity. Regular WOF inspections help keep your vehicle roadworthy and avoid penalties.
Where can I get a car WOF in Auckland?
You can get your car’s WOF at one of KAAR’s Auckland locations, either in Henderson or Avondale. Our fully qualified inspectors perform thorough WOF checks to ensure your vehicle meets safety standards.
What happens during a WOF inspection?
During your WOF inspection, our certified technicians will check various components of your vehicle, including lights, tyres, brakes, and fluid levels. If any issues are found, we can repair them on-site or recommend other solutions. We also offer additional services like checking tyre pressure and oil levels for a small fee.
How often do I need a WOF inspection?
In New Zealand, vehicles older than 6 years require a WOF inspection every 12 months. For cars that are under 6 years old, WOF checks are required annually until they turn 3 years old. Be sure to schedule your WOF inspection on time to stay compliant and keep your car safe.
