To be honest a car dealer is under no obligation to disclose if a car has been subject to a Cat d or c write off claim, if the customer asks outright"has this vehicle been subject to a total loss claim " obviously the trader would then have to disclose the facts..
but as the law stands ,so long as the vehicle is in roadworthy condition no offence has been committed
Is that so - annoying. I know when you sell your house it's no longer buyer beware - if you know something, but don't get asked about it at the time, you can still be held to account if it can be shown later you knew (or that you reasonably should have known). Think that's right Digsy?
I think that is correct with regards to property sales, but definitely doesn't apply to the motor trade (more the pity )
