Imported Vehicle Compliance and Certification Services in New Zealand
Car compliance begins with stage one, the vehicle interior trimming stage. We dismantle your vehicle to gain access behind the interior trim at this stage. Furthermore, a TSD agent must inspect the vehicle's condition, structure, seat, and seat belts. We will gather all information on the car and complete the needed documentation. Lastly, we capture vehicle standards, concluding with a VIN Plate assigned and the interior refitted.
We then move your vehicle to the inspection hoists to check the underbody and mechanical parts. We strip all underbody panels and brake pads to do the car compliance inspection. Otherwise, the TSD agent cannot continue the assessment of the brakes, suspension, tires, engine components, and vehicle structure. We then measure and check the mechanical parts, ensuring they meet all OEM minimum requirements by NZTA. Once put back together, the TSD agent completes the car compliance inspection. By checking your vehicle's emissions, lighting, and braking systems.
If your vehicle passes all vehicle compliance requirements, the TSD will issue a Warrant of Fitness sticker (WOF). Furthermore, they will print the MR2A form for registration. We will quote you on the repairs if needed before this step. It's your choice to use your own repairer or us. However, all repairs must meet NZTA requirements, and then the WOF sticker & MR2A can be printed. It is essential to be aware of the vehicle's condition before import to prevent any unexpected costs during vehicle compliance.
