WOF extension: Cars with 'potentially life threatening' faults on the road

The Motor Trade Association says the number of cars on the road with expired warrants is "of huge concern". MTA members are anticipating a bottleneck, with drivers whose warrants expired during the first lockdown delaying until the looming October 10th deadline to make sure their cars are road-worthy. Figures from NZTA show the average WoF failure rate is 41%. Nationwide warrants were down 83% in April, with more than half a million fewer vehicle inspections completed during the lockdown period than usual. Since then, there's been a five week wait for warrants in some parts of the South Island. Kathryn Ryan speaks with MTA Repair Sector Manager Graeme Swan, Paul Brimblecombe, owner of Station Tyre and Service at Waikanae and Ross Birchall who is owner of Birchall Maunder Automotive in Rotorua.
