Warrant of Fitness (WoF)

A Warrant of Fitness (WoF) is a regular check that a vehicle meets required New Zealand safety standards at the time of inspection. The check covers items such as tyres, brakes, lights, glazing, structure, steering, suspension and safety belts. Mao Motors offers WoF inspections from its Wairau Valley workshop. If the vehicle does not pass, the failed items and any repair options can be discussed before work begins.
