WHAT DOES WARRANT OF FITNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Warrant of Fitness

In New Zealand, a Warrant of Fitness is a document certifying that a light motor vehicle has passed a compulsory periodic inspection of safety and roadworthiness. All vehicles with a gross massunder 3,500 kilograms which are used on public roads are required to undergo a WoF test, with the frequency depending on the age of the vehicle. Since 1 January 2014, vehicles first registered on or after 1 January 2004 must undergo a WoF test annually; older vehicles must undergo a WoF test every six months. From 1 July 2014, vehicles first registered on or after 1 January 2000 must undergo a WoF test at first registration, at three years, and then annually after that; older vehicles must undergo a WoF test every six months. Vehicles over 3,500 kilograms, passenger service vehicles, and rental vehicles do not have a Warrant of Fitness. Instead, these vehicles must possess a Certificate of Fitness. The CoF test is similar to the WoF test, but must be undergone every six months regardless of the age of the vehicle.
