Before you bring your vehicle in for a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection, there are several checks you can perform yourself to increase the likelihood of a first-time pass. These simple checks can help you identify and address minor issues before your WOF inspection.
Start with your vehicle's lights. Ensure all headlights, brake lights, and indicators are functioning correctly. Replace any blown bulbs and check that the lights are the correct color and properly aimed. Next, inspect your tyres. They should have a minimum tread depth of 1.5mm and be free from cuts, bulges, or other damage. Also, check your tyre pressure and adjust it if necessary according to your vehicle's manual.
Check your windscreen for any cracks or damage, and make sure your windscreen wipers and washers are working effectively. Inspect your seat belts to ensure they're in good condition and working correctly. Finally, check your seatbelts and make sure they clip in an operate correctly.
Remember, these checks can help you identify potential issues, but they're not a substitute for a professional WOF inspection. Our team at Kapiti Cars is here to provide a comprehensive WOF check to ensure your vehicle meets all NZTA safety standards.
