I thought you couldn't get a WOF if your RUCs were over.
I don't actually know why I thought that though, TBH.

You can, but the owner gets a bill in the mail.

Yes, but it's not the garage owner's responsibility to educate others about paying RUCs.

Handing out a leaflet is not that hard, I tell customers potential issues that may cost them in the long run.

I recieved a bundle of those today as well, it was in the latest WOF news that we have to read online, they are too tight to post it out! Its not like we havnt got enough to do doing the WOF inspection! NZTA should do thier own tax collecting.

i did think i read on the gubiments site that the wof has to accuratly add diesel odometer at wof now and they then act on it and they also send inspectors to owners to hunt for tempering divises and the cops are allowed to search cars for hidden switches and temper divises since march this year. thats what i did read last december or so

You know that you cant bring ruc up to date without a wof. well thats how it was. I had my hilux on hold for years till i found a replacment engine and when i purchased it at auction it was overdue. the auction told me they pay it up. never did and when i wanted to they told me sorry cant do if its got no rego or wof i cant recall what it needs but rego you cant get without a wof also could be you need rego for ruc. anyhow i could not and as soon as i got a wof i had a letter with the warning of a fine befor i even could pay it up that was years ago. I wonder how it should work now.

I received notice in the mail as the ruc was supposedly overdue by 10K in December last year. I can't remember if it was an actual bill, but, they were going to start recovery proceedings if I didn't get it up to date. It was a mis-entry of the Odometer and I had to fax off a copy of my sheet with the correct mileage on it and they were happy.

The Govt probably getting sick of all the diesel vehicles driving about with the odometer switched off, and the same vehicles getting WOF's every 6 months with no increase in mileage.
Can't say I blame them.
If you can't afford fuel -hop on a bus.

Has anyone actually read the brochure! NZTA outline the very reasons why this whole RUC malarkey needs to be dumped, at least on light diesels. According to them 1/3 of diesel sold is used for off road purposes, meaning obviously that 2/3rd's is used in road going machinery, why not tax all of the diesel at the same rate as petrol and make the offroad users claim the road tax back! Stops the majority having to fart about with these silly road tax labels. But yet another example of fudged thinking from our beloved bureaucrats.
