There are three major steps to
Car Compliance.
Step 1: Vehicle Trimming, Step 2: Inspection & Step 3:
Warrant of Fitness Sticker.
Vehicle Trimming:
Car compliance begins with stage one, the vehicle interior trimming stage. At this stage, your vehicle is required to be dismantled to gain access behind the interior trim, this is where a TSD agent must inspect the condition and structure, seats, and seat belts of your vehicle. This is the step where all information about your vehicle is gathered, all documentation required is filed, vehicle standards are captured and your car gets a VIN Plate assigned and the Interior is refitted.
Inspection:
Your vehicle now is moved to our inspection hoists where the underbody and mechanical components are inspected. We strip all underbody panels and brake pads so the TSD agent can continue the inspection of the brakes, suspension, tires, engine components, and vehicle structure. All mechanical parts are measured and inspected to make sure they meet all OEM minimum requirements set out by NZTA and the vehicle structure is sound. Once your vehicle has been completely put back together, the TSD agent finalises the inspection by checking your vehicle’s emissions, lighting, and braking systems.
Warrant of Fitness Sticker:
If your vehicle passes all requirements then the TSD will issue a
Warrant of Fitness sticker (WOF) and print the MR2A form for registration. If there are repairs required before this step, we will quote you on the repairs and it’s your choice to use us or your repairer, but all repairs must be repaired to all NZTA requirements, then the WOF sticker and MR2A can be printed. It is important to be aware of the condition of the vehicle before import to prevent any unexpected costs. Once the vehicle has passed, you can pick your vehicle up.
