Have a read over the upcoming WOF requirements/changes coming up. Changes will effect most people.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FhxAzhc4R/

We’re making changes to the warrant of fitness system. On 1 November 2026, these things will change:

• people who buy a new car will need to get their next WoF when the car is 4 years old (it’s currently when the car is 3 years old)
• people with cars between 4–14 years old* will need a WoF every 2 years (it’s currently yearly)
• people with motorcycles registered before 1 January 2000 will need a WoF every year (it’s currently every 6 months).

For a long time we’ve had very frequent vehicle inspections compared to countries overseas. Modern vehicles are significantly safer and more reliable. It’s safer to have less frequent inspections, and this’ll save you time and money.

Cars over 14 years old, and motorcycles registered before 1 January 2000, will move to an annual WoF (up from every 6 months for some vehicles).

If your car has Automatic Emergency Braking or Lane Keep Assist, WoF inspections will now check for warning lights (or malfunction indicators) for these systems.

It’s still your responsibility to maintain your vehicle to the WoF standard between inspections. To reinforce this we’re increasing fines if your vehicle isn’t compliant. From 1 November:

• If you’re driving a vehicle with a WoF that’s expired by more than 2 months, you may be fined $350 (up from $200).
• If you’re driving a vehicle with a wheel or tyre that wouldn’t pass an inspection, you may be fined $350 (up from $150) and up to $1000 (the maximum court-ordered fine).

We’ve made these change following us consulting you for feedback about this towards the end of 2025. Thanks to everyone who shared their feedback with us – we received over 5000 formal submissions, and overall people supported these changes.

Our website has more information about the changes, including a summary and analysis of your feedback to us about these changes: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/changes-to-light-vehicle-inspections

* We’ll be introducing the change for cars between 4–14 years old in phases. From 1 November 2026, cars first registered on or after 1 November 2019 become eligible for WoFs every 2 years. From 1 November 2027, cars first registered from 1 November 2013 to 31 October 2019 become eligible.

PSA - WHEEL ALIGNMENTS

Getting a wheel alignment each year — or whenever you fit new tyres — is a simple way to protect your investment and keep your car driving safely. Proper alignment ensures your tyres wear evenly, helps your vehicle handle correctly, and improves fuel efficiency.

If your alignment is off, you might notice uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side, or a crooked steering wheel — all signs that can lead to premature tyre replacement and reduced safety.

A quick alignment now can save you money on tyres later and keep your drive smooth and safe.

Wheel alignments are $99 and you can book through our website linked below.

PSA - SERVICING YOUR VEHICLE

Keeping your vehicle regularly serviced isn’t just about maintenance — it’s about safety, savings, and peace of mind. Routine servicing helps catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs, keeps your car running efficiently (saving you money on fuel), and ensures everything from your brakes to your tyres are in top condition.

One of the most important parts of servicing is changing your engine oil every 10,000km or at least once a year. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated, losing its ability to properly lubricate and protect your engine. Fresh oil reduces wear and tear, helps prevent overheating, and can significantly extend the life of your vehicle. Skipping oil changes might save a little now, but it can lead to costly engine damage down the track.
