What Does a WOF Inspection Check?

01

We assess the WOF failure

Bring your WOF failure information to our workshop and we can assess the items identified during the inspection.

02

We identify the required repairs

Our technicians inspect the relevant components and explain what needs to be repaired or replaced.

03

We carry out the repairs

Once approved, we complete the necessary repairs using suitable replacement parts and repair methods.

04

Your vehicle is rechecked

After the repairs have been completed, the vehicle can be presented for a WOF recheck where applicable.

NZTA's current VIRM states that where a vehicle fails a WOF inspection, a subsequent inspection can be completed without an additional inspection fee when it is carried out within 28 days of the original failure and at the same inspecting organisation.


WOF Repairs That Meet NZTA Requirements

NZTA's Vehicle Inspection Requirements Manual provides the inspection processes and requirements that vehicles must meet to pass a WOF.


Where a WOF failure identifies a safety or compliance issue, our technicians can assess the vehicle and determine the appropriate repair.


This may include replacing worn components, repairing damaged parts, correcting lighting or electrical faults, addressing suspension or steering issues, or carrying out other work needed to return the vehicle to a safe, compliant condition.
