The safety regulations for vehicles in New Zealand are borderline absurdly strict. A vehicle with any kind of accident damage needs essentially to be put back into the condition (in the areas affected by the accident) that it rolled out of the factory in. NZ's bureaucracy doesn't care about emissions, but one sheet metal screw into the unibody anywhere is an automatic fail. I'll be receiving a file with the vehicle, for something that, outwardly, left just a scratch on the paint.
