Motor vehicle dealers must have a Form 4 – Vehicle Particulars on all vehicles they are offering or displaying.
The form contains the required particulars of the vehicle, including odometer reading, year of manufacture, and cash price. A Yes/No box on Form 4 must be completed to identify whether the vehicle is covered by the statutory warranty.
The Form 4 must be printed, typed, or written in a clear and legible manner and be clearly visible when attached to the vehicle. It should be placed inside the vehicle where it can clearly be read through the windscreen. If the vehicle does not have a windscreen, such as a motorcycle, the notice must be clearly visible to a person standing near the vehicle.
A copy of the form, signed by you as the dealer, yard manager or salesperson and the purchaser, must be retained for two years after the sale of a vehicle.
Before you sell a second-hand vehicle, you must also give the purchaser an information statement about the statutory warranty under the MVDA, if any, that applies to the vehicle. The information statements are Form 5A (statutory warranty) and Form 6 (no statutory warranty).
