Complaint about a vehicle certification

We may not be able to progress your complaint if:

  • the vehicle has travelled a significant distance since the original certification, which may have impacted on the condition of the vehicle.
  • the vehicle has been repaired or altered since the certification.
  • the complaint relates only to tyres or wheels (which are easily removed).
  • the original certification was more than six months ago.


Even if we can’t investigate a complaint, we appreciate you taking the time to contact us – it's helpful for us to know about your experience.
