Don’t miss the WOF!

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

I noticed that my CEOs car had a personalised plate, so I ‘carjamed’ it because I was curious about the engine displacement and then happened to notice that his WoF had expired 1 day ago.  The next day, I bumped into him in the lift and reminded him that he needed to sort his WoF out.  lol.  Then I showed him the free carjam report for his car on my phone and, being the techie that he is, he was pretty impressed with your site.

It’s also a good idea to check the WOF odometer reading the very next day in case the inspectors put in the wrong reading. It’s so much easier to come back to them the next day for an easy fix than going through a formal NZTA’s process of fixing the old records.

Pity your information is not accurate. You state my vehicle failed its last warrant. Sorry you are wrong it passed and I have a current warrant of fitness.

Hi Robert,

We source all vehicle data from the government operated NZTA Motor Vehicle Register. The MVR has many errors of this type due to incorrect data entry during WOFs and border checks.

Unfortunately we are not able to correct or modify the MVR data but if you are the owner of this vehicle you can get it corrected as described below. This information is applicable to errors with WOF, COF, Registration details, etc as well as incorrect odometer readings.

In your case I would suggest going back to the inspection guys and ask they why they have not submitted the inspection results into the MVR.

Hope this helps.

Carjam are now storing ‘look ups’ so that we can give out more free reports wherever possible as we are now charged for every access to the information in the Government’s Motor Vehicle Register.

If you want to update the details of the vehicle, please register and use your “free lookup”.

info on my car says my warrant ran out in april 2011, in actual fact it runs out 07/09/2011, somehow it was not updated.

You will need to contact the NZTA and ask them to correct it.
