What is the main purpose of having a warrant of fitness for vehicles?

The main purpose of having a warrant of fitness for vehicles is to ensure that they are roadworthy and safe. This inspection assesses critical safety features of a vehicle, such as brakes, lights, tires, and structural integrity, to confirm that they meet the necessary safety standards for operation on the road.

Having a valid warrant of fitness means that a professional has evaluated the vehicle and deemed it safe to drive, contributing to the overall safety of all road users. This is crucial in reducing accidents caused by mechanical failures or unsafe vehicles, thereby protecting both the driver and other road users.
