❓ LVV & Compliance FAQ

What is LVV Certification?
LVV Certification (Low Volume Vehicle cert) is required when you modify your car beyond factory specs β€” ensuring it’s safe and legal for NZ roads.

What is Car Compliance?
Car compliance checks that your car meets New Zealand road safety standards. It’s required for:

  • Imported vehicles entering NZ roads for the first time

  • Previously deregistered or accident-damaged cars returning to the road

  • Cars flagged with structural/WOF issues

How long does the process take?

LVV certification and compliance are not overnight jobs. Depending on the complexity of the build, the workload required, and certifier availability, the process can range from several weeks to a few months. At Racelab, we streamline the process wherever possible, but we’re upfront with customers: quality work and compliance can take time.

How much does it cost?
Costs depend on the type of work and vehicle. Our Pre-Cert/Compliance Inspection is a low-cost way to get an upfront plan + quote.

Can Racelab guarantee a pass?
Yes β€” if we complete the inspection and carry out the recommended work, we guarantee your vehicle will meet LVVTA/NZTA standards.
