How can a vehicle lifted 8cm get a WoF with out a Cert? Does this mean that it doesn't need certifying?

Anything 2 inches or over with a spring (or block) lift, and anything with a body lift will need a cert.

Thanks Leon. I'm talking about a lifted vehicle that has a WoF but no cert. Does this mean that a WoF is not dependent on a Cert?

From the information you've provided to me (8cm lift), I believe this vehicle should have failed a WOF unless it is certified.
As we know though, the WOF inspection system isn't perfect, due to involving human beings ;-)

Currently there is no wof regulations on lifting a vehicle, so long as the springs/shocks are direct replacements and dont require any modifications etc, this came up at a WoF review I had, even the NZTA representative was suprised to see it wasn't covered. The regulations on lifting/lowering blocks and body lifts still apply tho.
Modifications that do not require LVV certification
Springs and shock absorbers
the springs or shock absorbers are direct replacements, and
replacement springs are contained within unmodified OE seats throughout full suspension travel, and
replacement springs are self-retaining in their seats at full extension, without the use of non-standard devices such as wire-ties, straps, or external spring locators, and
replacement springs have not been heated or cut, and
springs and spring seats are not height adjustable by any means (unless OE), and
replacement shock absorbers, including air-adjustable units, fit unmodified OE mountings, and
suspension maintains sufficient travel for safe operation when fully laden, and
suspension components maintain sufficient clearance from unmodified bumpstops when fully laden, and
a minimum of 100mm ground clearance (unladen and without driver) exists below any part of the vehicle structure, or any steering, braking or suspension component2, and
the normal relationship between front and rear suspension height is not unduly affected.
