| 1325147 | 2013-01-27 20:44:00 | Not quite - cars first registered before 1 January 2000 still need six-monthly checks, cars registered after this date fall under the new annual check. This means that despite my two cars being built in the same year, one gets checked annually (registered in 2002 imported) and the other six-monthly (registered 1995 NZ new). I think. :p You sure on that :confused: Most cars we bought are NZ new imports but otherwise second hand. The NZTA sticker on the windscreen says 1998/2004 etc ... we bought in the late 2000s. |

| 1325150 | 2013-01-27 21:49:00 | CV joint's are not a WOF issue... One needed a CV joint, but I told the mechanic, not the other way round, then he said it could be left until worse. When worse I booked it in. |

| 1325152 | 2013-01-27 21:59:00 | I think this is foolish. They could have safely increased the age of cars that only need a 1 year WOF, for example 10 years or younger, but it won't take long before cars are 15 and 20 years old and only need a 1 year WOF. Kiwis on average (I'm not talking about everyone here) are very slack with vehicle maintenance. Think how much a set of tyres can wear in a year. I agree that this (could) cost lives. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1325153 | 2013-01-27 22:03:00 | My Toyota was Japanese new in 2001. I bought it as a second hand import and it was registered in New Zealand in 2012. I have to wonder what would happen if it was Japanese new in for example in 1998 instead of 2001 but first registered in New Zealand in 2012. If it is still only required to be inspected annually instead of every six months - this could be an anomaly. In any case the dealer that I bought the car from gives me a free WOF for life. They pay for the checks. |

| 1325154 | 2013-01-27 22:14:00 | What year did MV Manufacturers bring out the 100,000km/5 year warranty, now we see Mitsi. with a 5 year or 10 year warranties. Surely that's a reason for the 1 year WOF on new vehicles. Any vehicle here in Christchurch should still be on a 6 monthly WOF, one wonders how many have already been off-loaded to other centres.

| 1325155 | 2013-01-27 22:32:00 | It's year first registered doesn't matter which country it was first registered in from what I understand. There are a few weird ones out there, someone on a forum I visit was saying their Mitsi Mirage was entered in the Mirage Cup from new in Japan so was never registered over there. Even though it's a 95 or something. It didn't hit NZ until 2000's it's first date of Rego will be in the 2000's. | Alex B (15479) | ||
