You know the new WOF rules:cars registered after 1 Jan 2000 will only need yearly WOFs. Does that mean when they were registered in NZ or first registered anywhere in the world! Would say a 1999 Japanese import first registered in NZ in 2002 qualify!

so bs how they overlooked classic car owners. 6 month WOFs for them is a bit lame.

Took my 2006 NZ new car for WOF last week. It passed, they put a 6 month WOF on window, I asked what about the 12 month WOF. Answer - not introduced until July 2014.

In the too hard basket, it was far easier to just implement the blanket post 2000 yearly WOF for those vehicles over 3yo and let nature take its course. The politicians view anyone still driving a vehicle made last century as nutters who shouldn't really be on the road anyway, scrapping of such vehicles, especially 90's models is encouraged with this legislation.They know from the numbers we have a huge block of 1996-1999 models with a mishmash of safety features like abs and no airbags, abs and a drivers airbag only etc, and vice versa, that are getting up in the kms still on the road that need to be culled and want buyers in post 2000's, and will punish you with 6mth checks if you don't upgrade.
