Statutory warranty

  • Used cars can have one of two statutory warranty periods, depending on the vehicle’s age and odometer reading:
  • Class A warranty: when the odometer reading is fewer than 160 000 kilometres, and the car was manufactured fewer than 10 years before the sale date, the warranty is three months or 5000 kilometres, whichever happens first
  • Class B warranty: when the odometer reading is 160 000 kilometres or more, or the car was manufactured 10 years or more before the sale date, the warranty is one month or 1000 kilometres, whichever happens first
  • Defects
    • A defect is a part of the vehicle that does not do what it is supposed to do, or has deteriorated to the extent that the buyer cannot rely on it to work. A statutory warranty covers most defects.
      However, it does not cover any defect in a vehicle's:
      • tyres or tyre tubes, batteries, fitted airbags, lights or radiator hoses
      • installed radio, tape recorder or CD player
      • air conditioning system (for a Class B warranted vehicle)
      • aerial, spark plug, wiper rubber, distributor point, oil or oil filer, heater hose, fuel or air filter
      • paint work or upholstery that should have been apparent before the buyer took delivery of the vehicle
      • Accessory that not fitted to the vehicle when it was sold.
      • Statutory warranty also does not cover any defect from accidental damage due to the buyer’s misuse or negligence.

Where should the buyer take the vehicle?

The buyer should return the vehicle to the dealer who sold it to them. They should also take a defect notice that explains the defect. By law the buyer must give that dealer an opportunity to fix the defects.
