WOF Henderson.

WOF Henderson – A warrant of fitness (WOF) is a regular check that your vehicle meets required safety standards, at the time of inspection. It’s your job to keep your vehicle in warrantable condition always. For example, while tyres on your vehicle may pass on the day of your warrant inspection, you’ll need to replace them as soon as the tread gets to the minimum depth. If you wait until the next inspection before replacing them, you increase your risk of having a crash or receiving a fine.

 

WOF Henderson FAQ’s

 

Why do I need to have a current Warrant of Fitness?

 

Firstly, it is a mandatory requirement to legally operate on public roads in New Zealand.  Also, a current WOF certifies your vehicles roadworthiness at the time of inspection.  A WOF ensures that all your vehicle’s safety systems such as brakes, exhaust system, lights, steering, suspension, seat belts etc are in good working order.  A current WOF will help you avoid costly Traffic Infringement Notices (tickets) for driving a non-warranted vehicle.  To comply with your vehicle’s insurance policy. If your vehicle has no current registration or WOF, your policy may be invalid.
