What does a warrant of fitness indicate?

A warrant of fitness (WoF) is an important document in New Zealand that certifies that a vehicle has been inspected and deemed roadworthy. This inspection focuses on the essential safety aspects of the vehicle, such as brakes, lights, tyres, and other critical components. The purpose of the warrant is to ensure that vehicles on the road are safe to drive and meet the required standards, thereby helping to protect both the driver and other road users.

The other choices do not accurately represent what a warrant of fitness entails. For instance, while insurance and regular servicing are important for vehicle maintenance, they are not guaranteed by a warrant of fitness. Additionally, the vehicle's age is unrelated to the criteria used to issue a warrant, as older vehicles can still be roadworthy if they meet safety standards. Therefore, the correct answer specifically reflects the result of the thorough inspection that warrants the vehicle's safety and roadworthiness.
