Yeah - maybe ... LTNZ knows about 20% of the vehicles on the road are not WOF standard. Therefore, if all vehicles are going for a WOF test - about 20% should be failed.
Now some garages may fail more, because they get rougher cars, while some garages will fail less - they get better cars to test.
So if you have less than 10% they will come and look ... 10% is on the low side .. gives the garage a bit of leeway ..
Same for traffic tickets - about 10% of all cars on the road at any specified time are doing something illegal - they know how may cars are on the road at any one time - so they know how many drivers are breaking the law - and should be stopped by police. Given that the police are not watching everyone everywhere all the time - the chances of catching all illegal drivers is ZERO - but they have a good idea how many can be caught ...
Did you know that three out of every five bikes on the road is somehow illegal - incorrect licence, no licence, no WoF .. speeding - pick one or two. So a cop stopping a bike has a three out of five chances of issuing a ticket - for cars it's about 1 in 5.
There are no quotas for traffic cops - but those who drop in ticket numbers will be spoken to. And if your numbers are dropping - stop the bikes - better than average chance of giving tickets ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
I remember Dawn from Rider Training saying something like that she started recording all her CBTA rides - as she was failing less than the typical fail rate (which was due to the excellent riding training that they provided for most riders) - and the authorities were questioning her pass rates - so she had proof that they were meeting the standard.

It's not a performance target.
The auditor (probably the same guy that looks at Katman) told me, that based on the demographic of client/vehicle my business targeted, that the expectation of that age of vehicle/socioeconomic situation, dictated based on statistics a certain failure rate as the norm.
He explained that a new car dealership, servicing cars up to six years old had a virtually nil failure rate expectation. A lower socioecinomic area, where people drive old shitters & are too stupid to be proactive about their own safety (not his exact words) may have a 80 percent failure expectation.
It's not a target, but there would be a red flag raised if a garage in the middle of shitsville didn't fail any cars that were over 20 years old with 200plus kms on them.
Fail a WOF, then can't get rego, plus original problem for WOF fail, escalates very quickly.
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987
