Ensure the Specific Conditions for OTP are in place

After a recent visit to the offices of the MIOSA we have adapted our Specific Conditions OTP some more.

If a dealership sells a vehicle under Specific Conditions the following should be in place:

  • The customer must be aware of the fact that a specific vehicle is offered in a specific condition before the negotiations to buy the vehicle takes place.
  • The burden of proof would be on the dealership if a dispute is lodged with the MIOSA to prove the above.
This can be achieved by the following:
  1. If the vehicle is advertised it should be noted on the advertisement that specific conditions for the sale exists.
  2. The dealership can have visible information boards indicating that the vehicles in a particular section is sold subject to specific conditions.
  3. Clearly mark the vehicle as being sold subject to specific conditions.
  • Keep a signed copy of the displayed information indicating that the sale is subject to specific conditions with your specific conditions OTP.
  • Ensure that the consumer signs the OTP when it is completed and initial next to any changes on the document. Provide the consumer with a copy of the OTP.
Please use the new specific conditions OTP available on our website here in future sales of this kind.
