Motorhome CoF's Changing to 12 Months

Some amazing news we have been waiting quite frankly for years now. The Transport Minister has announced private use motorhome Certificate of Fitness (CoF) inspection intervals are changing to 12 months from 1st September 2025. The six monthly burden of a CoF was often a frustration for many motorhome owners who would typically undertake quite low kilometers between inspections.
The new rule was introduced to reduce the compliance burden on motorhome owners, who tend to drive significantly less than those with modern cars. Evidence also indicates that motorhomes and vintage vehicles are less likely to have a vehicle fault contribute to a serious crash. Public support during the consultation period was overwhelmingly in favour of making the change to 12 month intervals, with 89% supporting the change, which affects 39,000 motorhomes.

A massive thank you from all within the industry to the team at NZMCA who has worked hard behind the scenes for years now to lobby for this sensible change.
