Hello, We recently bought a car from a car dealer in Auckland. The car came with a WOF which is still valid. However when the car arrived from Auckland the rear passenger door handle was not useable. We could not open the door from the outside. Is the WOF still valid.

Hi there,
The WoF rules state here: https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/entrance-and-exit/door-and-hinged-panel-retention-systems
It's a WoF fail if: A door used for entrance and exit of the driver or passengers cannot be opened from the inside.
