After lots and lots of research this is it i think hope it helps
LVVTA recommends to vehicle owners with incorrectly registered vehicles that this problem is sorted out
before it becomes a dilemma at LVV certification time. And fortunately, the fix isn’t a major.
LVVTA has worked through this with the key people within NZTA, and have agreed that such vehicles do not
usually need to become de-registered, and then subsequently re-registered in its correct description, as
some people have had to do in the past. The filling out of a form is all that is needed.
Affected vehicle owners should drop in to their local VINZ, AA, or VTNZ testing station with their vehicle,
collect an MR16 form, and complete that with the required information, before posting it through to NZTA.
In most cases there is little or no cost for this to be done, however this does depend on each testing
station’s individual policy. The testing station people will need to sight the vehicle, and may want to carry
out a basic inspection.
The whole process is relatively simple; however it can take a month to complete the paperwork, so vehicle
owners shouldn’t leave it until the week before that big event they’ve been planning to attend.
