Warrant

 

It's that time of year again. I waited at our local VTNZ (Vehicle Testing New Zealand) to get a fresh warrant of fitness for my car which is a 2012 Mazda Demio. It's one of those good reliable cars that is very economical petrol wise. A warrant of fitness is something that every car in the country has to get yearly so I go to this one in town to get them to check mine over and they put a sticker on the front right side of the windscreen saying all is safe with an expiry date on it. It's a very popular place and had people constantly coming and going while I was waiting.

I assume this practice is about road safety but also a healthy environmental initiative? Other than when a vehicle is bought, traded, or imported, this is rare in Canada.

We have a yearly vehicle inspection as it’s called here. Same idea!

Ours is due as well, we like to have it done before the Christmas holidays in case we decide to travel.

In the Netherlands, cars that are 4 years old or older also require an annual General Periodic Inspection.

Our inspection is every 2 years thank goodness. The nearest testing station is over an hour away.
Nice to know you're OK!
