Whether you run a fleet or operate a single car, your light vehicle has to meet road safety standards. At Tyres2Go, we deliver a quick and reliable Certificate of Fitness (CoF-A) inspection that ensures your vehicle is safe, and fully compliant with NZ laws. Contact us today to keep your light vehicle on the road with confidence.
Why Do You Need a CoF?
The Certificate of Fitness (CoF-A) is not just a legal requirement; it is crucial for the safety and compliance of your light vehicles and your business continuity. Here are the reasons why your car must have CoF:



- It ensures road safety. Commercial vehicles endure a lot of mechanical stress and regular inspections reduce the risk of major problems like brake failure, steering and suspension issues.
It is required by law. Driving without a valid CoF in Christchurch and North Canterbury will lead to legal troubles like fines, vehicle impoundment, and insurance complications.
- It protects your business. Regular CoF inspections will identify issues promptly and help you avoid costly breakdowns, downtime, and liability in case of accidents.
- It keeps passengers safe. A CoF is essential if your light vehicle is used for transport services such as vans and shuttles.
Our Services
A Certificate of Fitness (CoF-A) is a mandatory regular inspection for light commercial vehicles. It ensures that your car meets all safety standards and is fit to be driven on public roads.
If you own a fleet or operate just a single light commercial vehicle, you should know that your CoF starts from the date your vehicle passes inspection and expires between 3 and 12 months later.
Visit us at Tyres 2 Go before the expiry of your CoF in Christchurch and North Canterbury for a detailed inspection that reflects the risks and responsibilities of operating light commercial or passenger vehicles.
