Notice of Defects Excluded from Warranty (Form 5) is for motor vehicle dealers to exclude a defect from a statutory warranty.
The form must be:
- filled in and displayed on the vehicle before the sale so it can be clearly read through the windscreen;
- include a detailed description of the defect and a fair estimate of the costs to repair it; and
- signed by the buyer at or before the time of sale.
If you don’t give your buyer a copy, the form is not signed or was not placed on the vehicle prior to the sale, it has no effect.
