hypochondriac Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 I don't think I have to worry chap as the guy wont be going through any legal course to get his 500 quid back, will he. He could barely put a sentence together when I met him. Like I said, the V5C is gone, I'm not going to worry about this for another moment. You lot can as much as you like. Right so you broke the law (as shown here) and then think it's OK because you totally ripped off someone with a lower IQ than yourself. Just because you may get away with something doesn't make it morally right or mean that you have broken the law any less. You have just admitted that you aren't bothered that you just committed fraud because you don't think the victim affected has the IQ to get his money back that he is rightfully entitled to. You are worse than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thats it I'm boned. I wont be able to sleep at night now! For the record, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong, the guy took the risk of buying a car without an MOT for 500 quid - how you can feel sorry for him is beyond me - and how I can be lambasted for not knowing every little detail about faults with the car is out of order - YES - I should have used better language in the Ebay article but at the end of the day, he bought an old car and would have known the risks.

Well to me £500 is next years season ticket. Seems also once again the value of the car has changed on ebay just over £400 then its £550 now its £500, I think he should get a layer and sue your ass off in court and claim expenses because a layer would make you look the c**k you are.

You committed fraud When this is pointed out to you you stand by your crime and refuse to consider any sort of compensation to the victim of your crime So are you saying that you wouldn't do this again should the opportunity present itself?

Whitey Grandad Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 Look, according to the seller this trade was not made through Ebay so that description does not apply. All that matters is what took place at the time of the sale/purchase. Earlier descriptions of the vehicle are out of date. It is up to the buyer to satisfy himself as to the condition of the goods that he is buying. This is a private trade between two individuals so consumer law does not apply. After the latest MOT the vehicle has been found to be unroadworthy, but according to the statements above it was never described as such. The only dispute that I can see is to the amount that would need to be spent in order to make the vehicle roadworthy again, and that will be what was discussed at the time of the sale. Any earlier descriptions on Ebay are out of date irrelevant. As I said above, the law says 'caveat emptor' - 'let the buyer beware' - which is a basic principle in commerce where anything is sold without a warranty. (All in my humble opinion, of course.)

hypochondriac Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 What law would that be, exactly? To add to the above.... as the car wasn't sold without a SORN then it must be considered to be roadworthy, whether you said it was for spares or not. As it had no SORN then it has to be roadworthy. That it has 6 months MOT left is irrelevant - MOT does not give carte blanche to drive a car in an unroadworthy condition. It is merely a statement that the car passed on the day of the test and it is up to the owner to keep the car in a roadworthy condition. You are stuffed and potentially a criminal.

badgerx16 Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 A car has to be taxed or have a SORN, unless being kept off the road and untaxed for less than 14 days, it is nothing to do with being in a roadworthy condition. A car with a current SORN cannot be driven on the road except to a prearranged MOT test - provided valid insurance is in place. In this case it had tax,- but was not 'roadworthy' as it's MOT had expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, is it really illegal to have a car that has neither MOT or SORN ? I know it is illegal to have a car with neither tax or SORN, and it is illegal to drive a car without valid insurance, and to drive a car without a valid MOT unless to a retest; but if a car is otherwise stationary, and displays a valid tax disc, is this not perfectly legal ?

To clear it up as I might not have been clear (even to myself ). The law recently changed to say that your car either has to be taxed or on a SORN. You can't leave an unroadworthy car off the road. In order to be taxed, a valid MOT and insurance has to be in place. The MOT certificate The MOT certificate confirms that at the time of the test, without dismantling it, the vehicle met the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required by law. It doesn’t mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the length of time the certificate is valid. The MOT certificate is also no guarantee of the general mechanical condition of your vehicle. The test doesn’t cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox. From Directgov. He knowingly sold an unroadworthy car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
