It depends where the rust is on the door. If rust is around the hinge area and/or where the door latches are it will fail.

Sound like your on the market for a new door

BUT ... iirc you don't need doors for a WOF, so you could always take them off, get your wof then put your doors back on :lol:

and yes, I have heard of this being done before and passing...

Depends on WOF inspector I guess, I tried for WOF without backseat and belts..... and failed :evil:

Thats a fair amount of rust tho, should have rivited a plate in and bogged it before going for WOF :lol:

yep, true story. it was on some old sh!tbox truck which had a bit of rust in the doors, so the dude took his doors off hence removing the rust :lol:

then proceeded to get his wof. rules may have changed since this happened though...

Provided its not in the frame it ought to be fine. One of my doors is getting quite rotten but its only the skin. WOF people have never made mention of it.

Should be on the VTNZ website under the VIRM stuff. Rust within 150mm of a hinge is a fail

Within 150mm of a hinge or catch. or an inch in diameter
