Warrant of Fitness checks for Motorcycles, scooters & trikes

A Warrant of Fitness (WoF) inspection is required for all motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, trikes and quads that are intended for use on public roads.
The checks are needed every 6 months for bikes over 6 years old, or every 12 months for bikes less than 6 years old.

It is your responsibility to maintain your bike according to the WoF standard and display a valid Warrant of Fitness label. If your bike lets you down it can hurt, a lot, so it is not worth risking.

There are many important safety checks included in a WoF inspection, including:

  • Fuel system (leaks, perished hoses)
  • Tyre condition, including depth of the tread
  • Exhaust system condition
  • Brake efficiency and balance
  • Suspension, steering and drive chain
  • Wheel alignment - crucial for two-wheelers!
  • Structural condition - no rust or crash damage in key areas
  • Speedometer must work properly
  • Lights, indicators and horn must be working
