A Kick The Tyres pre-purchase vehicle inspection always checks for expired or near expired warrant of fitness and registration.
Getting a warrant of fitness and keeping your car registered is a cost that we shouldn’t ignore – not only for safety, but for unnecessary fines.
An expired warrant of fitness is an instant $200 fine if you are caught.
An expired registration is also an instant $200 fine as well as 20 demerit points on your license.
If you haven’t updated your address with the NZTA then any reminders for your registration expiry won’t reach you.
Your email address follows you wherever you go! So why not register with carjam.co.nz for alerts to your email for when your registration is about to expire? It’s free for up to 2 vehicles per email address. Click here to set it up and never forget to renew your warrant of fitness or registration again.
