§ Mr. Loveridgeasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will take steps to prevent persons advertising second-hand cars for sale from 333W referring in advertisements to the issue of MOT certificates, in view of the false impression of the mechanical condition of the vehicle that this can give.
§ Mr. John FraserNo. The purchaser has an interest in whether a used vehicle offered for sale has a valid MOT certificate or not, but he should not take it as evidence of its current mechanical condition, as the certificate itself makes clear.
