Vehicle condition disclaimer

A used vehicle’s condition reflects its age, use, maintenance, repairs and storage. Listing information helps you shortlist but cannot describe every aspect of the actual vehicle or predict future performance.

Read the listing as a description to check rather than an independent inspection report. Ask the team to clarify anything material before you decide.

Lighting, camera angle, reflections and screen settings can affect how colour and surface condition appear. A photo may not show wear, hidden damage or a mechanical concern.

Confirm which photos relate to the actual vehicle. General website artwork and lifestyle imagery are separate from the vehicle’s listing photos; sample inventory, when displayed for testing, is identified as such.

Features can differ by model year, variant, market specification and later modification. Confirm the equipment fitted to the individual vehicle rather than relying solely on a general model description.

Check operation as well as presence: for example, lights, air conditioning, safety equipment, electronics, locks and accessories. Raise missing or inconsistent information before proceeding.

Kilometres driven refers to the odometer reading supplied for the listing. Mileage or fuel economy refers to consumption, such as kilometres per litre, and is a different measure.

Review available service and ownership records and ask about odometer replacements or uncertainties. A displayed reading does not independently establish the complete distance history, and fuel economy varies with use and conditions.

Consider engine and transmission operation, tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, bodywork and signs of corrosion, leaks or previous repair. Electric and hybrid vehicles can require specialist battery and high-voltage assessment.

Use a qualified independent assessor where appropriate. A short test drive, uploaded document or website review is not a comprehensive mechanical inspection or a guarantee against later faults.

Ask about significant damage, repairs, recurring faults, modifications and maintenance needs. Sellers are expected to provide accurate information and disclose known matters relevant to the proposed sale.

Record important representations, agreed repairs and unresolved issues in the transaction documents. Clarify who will carry out work, what is included and how completion will be checked.

Check that the vehicle meets the registration, insurance and use requirements applicable to your plans. A commercial cab may require additional fitness, permit or tax records and restrictions may vary by vehicle or location.

Confirm permitted passenger use, seating and other relevant requirements with the responsible authority or professional. Publication on the website does not grant permission to use a vehicle on a road or for a particular business.

The listing review checks submitted information and a document checklist. It is not official verification of authenticity, legal title, absence of finance, accident history or mechanical condition.

An Approved or Published status describes the website workflow. It does not create an inspection certificate or replace checks needed for the individual transaction.

The application does not provide a blanket marketplace warranty, fixed return period or automatic repair cover. A manufacturer or other provider may have vehicle-specific terms that require separate confirmation.

If cover is offered, obtain the provider, duration or distance limit, covered items, exclusions, claim process and any service obligations in writing. Do not infer cover from photographs, review status or general brand content.

Report an inaccurate listing or material condition concern with the listing reference and relevant details. Avoid driving a vehicle you believe is unsafe and seek appropriate professional assistance.

This disclaimer explains the limits of website information; it does not exclude rights or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or override a written vehicle-specific commitment.
