purchased a car back in june from a dealer with 8months wof left on it. it also had a 12 month warranty . the wof had been undertaken by Vinz on a fresh import, i am first owner. My wof was due today so took to my local vtnz station and they failed the wof on no certification for the adjustable suspension which was on the car when i bought it.just looking for information before i go back to the dealer

Hi there,
First off, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a vehicle with a wof older than 28 days old (yours was 4 months old!)
Also the vehicle would fail with adjustable suspension and so would not have passed entry compliance unless a low volume cert was obtained.
The vehicle was not sold by following the rules laid out by the NZTA and was not in a wof state at time of sale (no cert for modifications). https://nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/41/
