TRANSPORTATION IN MANUKAU - INFORMATION FOR NEWCOMERS
BUYING AND OWNING A VEHICLE
New Zealand has very specific rules for buying and selling vehicles. Genuine car
traders and dealers have to be registered. Before you buy your car, go on
www.aalemoncheck.co.nz/ to check if the car you are about to purchase
is a stolen car, owes money or has an accident history, and to check out the
ownership history and more. You can find a Vehicle History Report on any
registered vehicle in New Zealand so you are not liable to damages and money
owning. Motor vehicle insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand, but it is
very good idea to have it.
All vehicles in New Zealand must be registered each year - and you must display
your registration licence in the lower left corner of your windscreen or in the
holder on your motorcycle. Vehicles must also pass a Warrant of Fitness (WOF)
every twelve or six months depending on when it was first registered - and your
sticker must be displayed in the top right corner of your windscreen or in the
holder on your motorcycle. Find out more on
