新西兰：车辆适龄检验新规11月1日生效 新车首次检验延至第四年
新西兰车辆适龄检验（Warrant of Fitness, WoF）新规11月1日起生效：新购买的汽车首次检验期限从三年延长到四年，政府表示新规不会以牺牲道路安全为代价，检验周期将更贴合安全风险。
具体安排是：车龄4至14年、且在2019年11月1日或之后首次登记的轻型车辆，将从每年检验过渡到每两年检验；车龄超过14年的车辆以及2000年1月前登记的摩托车改为每年检验；租赁车辆从每六个月检验改为每年检验。
新规同时把部分先进驾驶辅助系统（ADAS）功能纳入 WoF 与适格证书检验范围。逾期处罚加重：检验过期超过两个月的罚款从200新西兰元提高到350新西兰元。交通部副部长 James Meager 说，强制检验将聚焦于最能影响安全之处，即车龄较长、风险较高的车辆，政府有信心改变不会损害道路安全。
政府数据称，检验中发现的缺陷只占死亡与重伤事故的3.5%。交通部长 Chris Bishop 今年4月曾表示，2025年咨询中74%的受访者支持减少低风险车辆的检验频率。自2027年11月起，两年一检将扩大到2013年11月1日或之后登记的车辆。
New Zealand: Warrant of Fitness Changes Take Effect November 1, First Check for New Cars at Four Years
New Zealand's new Warrant of Fitness (WoF) rules took effect on November 1: new cars will now require their first WoF after four years instead of three, and the government says testing timeframes are now more aligned with safety risk and will not come at the expense of road safety.
Under the changes, light vehicles between four and 14 years old and first registered on or after November 1, 2019 will transition from annual to two-yearly inspections, while vehicles over 14 years old and motorcycles registered before January 2000 will move to annual inspections. Rental vehicles will transition from six-monthly to annual inspections.
WoF and Certificate of Fitness inspections are also being expanded to test certain advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features, and fines have increased from NZ$200 to NZ$350 for a WoF expired by more than two months. Associate Minister of Transport James Meager said compulsory inspections will be focused where they make the biggest difference to safety, on older and higher-risk vehicles.
Government figures say defects identified during inspections contribute to only 3.5 percent of death and serious injury crashes. Transport Minister Chris Bishop said in April that 74 percent of respondents in 2025 consultation supported reducing inspections for lower-risk vehicles. From November 2027, two-yearly inspections will expand to vehicles registered on or after November 1, 2013.
