Vehicle Standards Compliance Amendment 2025 Consultation

The Minister of Transport is proposing changes to the Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Standards Compliance 2002 (the Rule) to reduce:

  • WoF check frequency for vintage and veteran vehicles over 40 years old from every 6 months to every 12 months.  
  • CoF check frequency for privately owned heavy motorhomes from every 6 months to every 12 months. 

We asked for feedback about these changes and our consultation closed at 5pm Friday 4 April 2025.

All feedback will be considered before the Minister of Transport makes a decision about the changes in approximately May 2025.
