flag New Zealand's MTA warns extended WoF inspections could raise costs and safety risks, urging evidence-based reform before Dec. 14, 2025.

flag New Zealand’s Motor Trade Association warns that proposed changes to the Warrant of Fitness system could increase long-term costs and safety risks, despite government claims of savings. flag The MTA argues extending inspection intervals may lead to higher maintenance, insurance, and ACC costs, along with more crashes due to undetected vehicle defects. flag With over half a million vehicles currently operating without valid WoF certification and a 41% failure rate, the industry stresses weak enforcement and calls for a slower, evidence-based review involving stakeholders. flag The MTA supports using mileage and the existing Road User Charge system to guide future checks and urges collaboration on reforms, as the public consultation closes December 14, 2025.
