As part of its second hand car market study, the OFT is conducting a public consultation on draft guidance for second hand car dealers on compliance with the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended).

Whilst the guidance is being produced primarily for second hand car dealers, it will also be of use to enforcers such as Trading Standards Officers, and to consumer advisors in understanding how the law applies to this sector.
