WOF status has no bearing on what we pay. Our offer is based on make, model, age, and mechanical condition.

|---|---|---|
| Running no WOF | $300–$15,000 | Same as WOF car |
| Non-running no WOF | $150–$2,500 | Normal assessment |
| Unregistered | $150–$2,500 | NZTA on site |
✅ 60-second callback • Firm offer • Free removal • NZTA on site
Yes — completely legally. A current WOF and registration are needed to drive a car on the road, not to sell it. You can sell a car with an expired or failed WOF and lapsed rego at any time; you just can't legally drive it until those are sorted. Selling it to us means you never have to.
The common WOF failures are also the expensive ones to fix on an older car:
When the repair bill to pass a WOF is more than the car is worth, selling for cash is the sensible option.
We buy cars with no WOF and no current registration every day, and it makes no difference to our offer. We complete the NZTA change of ownership at collection, so the car is out of your name the moment we drive away.
We pay on the car's parts and metal value regardless of its WOF status — call 0800 000 523 for a firm figure.
