We recommend that anyone looking to buy a used car visits an AA Preferred Dealer. Our series of checks on used cars gives drivers peace of mind that the used car they’re interested in buying isn’t hiding any secrets.
AA Preferred Dealers are trustworthy and provide you with complete confidence in your used car purchase.
We check all available service records and make sure the condition of the vehicle is consistent with the reading. An AA Odometer Verified window sticker, provides assurance of an accurate odometer reading.
Our AA Entry Compliance inspectors carry out regulatory vehicle inspections at AA Inspection Centres and third party business partner sites on used imports. Our vehicle inspections are carried out to meet the quality standards of NZAA and regulatory requirements of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
These service providers may also provide the following products: Warrant of Fitness (WoF) and Certificate of Fitness (CoF), for light motor vehicles and motorcycles.
An AA Appraised used car has received a 43 point mechanical check by the AA, which focuses on mechanical and safety aspects of the car and gives an overall evaluation of the vehicle.
The AA Appraised sticker is presented on the inside of the vehicle windscreen, providing peace of mind for customers that they can have the confidence of driving a used car that has had an AA Appraisal. Valid for 3 months from the date of appraisal or 500km, whichever occurs first.
