What is a Warrant of Fitness (WoF)?

A Warrant of Fitness is a safety inspection to ensure the vehicle still complies with certain safety and legal requirements.

The WoF inspection consists of visual examination and performance tests, but does not involve any dismantling of the vehicle nor maintenance checks.

Your WoF when issued is valid for either 6 or 12 months depending upon the age of the vehicle:

A. 12 months from the date of inspection for a vehicle that is less than 6 years from its date of manufacture, or
B. 6 months from the date of inspection for any other vehicle.
