Agency help for car traders

The NZTA has launched an online tool for car dealers, which provides them with a single portal to get information on vehicles.

It’s essentially a one-stop shop for traders to access the generator for vehicle fuel-economy labels and the electronic stability control tool developed by the Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association (VIA).

It also has the NZTA’s dealer training module, Motor Vehicle Register information through Motocheck, PPSR, register for damaged and written-off vehicles, and safety-recall database.

Malcolm Yorston, VIA’s technical manager, says mechanisms for generating consumer information notices and Rightcar QR code posters will be coming soon.

“The site also features a bulk look-up tool for safety ratings, which uses New Zealand regos and VINs, as well as Japanese chassis numbers, so you can check the safety ratings of vehicles you’re looking to import or trade.”

Yorston advises all car dealers to bookmark the tool because it will save them time getting information on individual vehicles.
