Point taken, but a car with no MOT is by definition not roadworthy, but to clear up any confusion have ammended the listing :-)

That is not necessarilly correct.

My partner had his motorbike MOT'd afterbeing parked in his garage for the winter.

Guess what. it passed. but while it had no mot did not make it roadworthy by any means.

I'm still p*ssing myself laughing over this post.

Google please
caveat emptor :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Firstly, car was not inspected prior to bidding.

I hit buy it now, (thus entering the contract) and paid for the car.

I'm still interested to know how you got it home. In reverse?:p

If I had of noticed there were issues with the car, under your definition then that would have been bad luck as I had entered a contract to buy??.

In my understanding of ebay yes, if you don't like it there are loads of other places, or you could always go and look at the car first ...

If the seller had been a little old lady:-

a - she would hardly shift a dangerous car knowing children would be in it.
b - she would not have bought a car 3 months ago, abused it until it was no longer fir for use, then shifted it quickly.
c - would probably have described the item truthfully..

a - no but she could unknowingly sell you a dangerous car.
b - no but she might of had it for years and abused it.
c - not really she might have mistakenly got facts wrong.

Road traffic act is not misquoted, its a direct extract..

Ok misrepresented then.

JK12345 wrote: »

SOLD AS SEEN NO WARRANTY GIVEN OR IMPLIED is worth nothing if the car is sold in an unroadworthy condition.

But how do you expect the seller to know this for certan?

JK12345 wrote: »

Sellers have a responsibility to truthfully describe their goods.

The issue is intent: where's the proof the seller intented to decive you?

Good but not quite, 'did you take Stevie Wonder to test drive the car' was the best...
