Cooper "S" is 10 years old this week.As good as new. Not high mileage, but the bodywork (ie potential rust area) is 100%, tyres are 1/4 worn, depreciated value is about $3,000.A WoF annually is all it really needs but no way am I selling it.Why would I!
Same here,most recent is a 97. But all brilliant condition and i often get comments saying how do you keep your car in such good nick.

The threat of emission testing will be making people hold on to their old cars. Just buy an old NZ new car. It wasn't required to meet any emission tests when made. Therefore they can only get you if it blows visible smoke.

Surely spending 100 odd dollars a year on your own and your family's safety is a peanuts compared to what could potentially be wrong with your vehicle! There seem to be a lot of people overly confident in their vehicle maintaining abilitys, however the reality is how oftern do you give your car a REALLY good check over! Do you inspect the rubber brake hoses, check brake ballance, suspension wear, chassis rust etc! I doubt anyone would, instead we wait until we are forced to repair our cars at wof time. Kiwi's rely on this system, and it works. Just imagine what the standard of vehicles will be on the road in 5 years time!

Mine 2004, 1996,1981,1967,1962 and I believe that any cars over 40 years old should be WOF'ed every 12 months or on mileage.

There isn't and never has been anything stopping motorists at any time from seeking an expert opinion on the condition of their car, be it for roadworthiness or other mechanical issues. In fact if you read the fine print on the back of wof checksheets its actually a legal requirement to do this already if you suspect there is a problem.Amazingly enough if you read a manufacturers service schedule (a completely foreign document to a lot of people admittedly) most of the wof stuff is covered. If you get your car checked and serviced by the book and apply common sense and take individual responsibility (shock horror) there isn't a problem. If people can't do that we need to be converting more back into pedestrians, in fact why don't we engage public servants to wipe their bums too. Relying on a default 6 month generic Govt ordered check is pathetic.

I think he's been too busy spouting other untruths to the media, have a look at nztools link in the other thread about the old Waimate cars if you haven't had a look already.

newest here is a 97 then the next is 86. seldom have things that need doing on wof checks but then do checks in between anyway.
be interesting to do analysis of crashes and age of vehicle involved vs number of cars of that age on the road
