What is a WOF (Warrant of Fitness)?
A Warrant of Fitness (WOF) is a legal safety inspection required by the NZ Transport Agency to ensure your vehicle meets minimum safety standards for driving on New Zealand roads. It’s not just a sticker. It’s confirmation your car is safe for you, your passengers, and other road users.
Vehicles first registered on or after 1 January 2000 generally require inspection every 12 months, while older vehicles may require checks every 6 months, depending on registration age and rules.
What We Check During Your WOF?
During the WOF inspection, our qualified technicians assess key safety systems and components, including but not limited to:
- Tyre condition and tread depth
- Brake system performance
- Lights and indicators
- Steering and suspension
- Safety belts and airbags
- Exhaust and fuel systems
- Windshield, wipers & washers
- Doors, mirrors, glazing and speedometer
This thorough check ensures your vehicle meets the safety standards set by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Failed Your WOF? We Can Help
If your vehicle doesn’t pass its WOF inspection, don’t worry! We can repair most safety-critical issues right here at Absolute Motors. Common reasons vehicles fail include worn tyres, broken lights, brake issues, or suspension problems.
We’ll:
- Discuss any failed items with you clearly

You cannot legally drive a vehicle that has failed its WOF unless you’re taking it somewhere for repairs or to a re-inspection and it is safe to do so.
