That is correct if buying from a ---->LMVD<---- (a car yard). The vehicle was sold privately and thus sold in an 'as is where is' basis regardless of if the wof was 5 months old or 5 hours old.

Maybe true in the old days, but nowadays many private sellers have been taken to the disputes tribunal for selling cars with faults, if they didn't sell them 'as is where is' and get the buyer to sign the receipt accepting that.
For the WOF issue. If you sell a car with a WOF less than one month old and the buyer then discovers it has a safety issue and shouldn't have got a WOF, the garage that issued the WOF is responsible for repairing the car, not the seller. That only protects you from WOF issues, not other mechanical problems unrelated to the WOF.
If you sell a car with a WOF more than one month old or with no WOF you must sell it 'as is where is' to protect yourself from come back. Whether you sell your car at auction to the highest bidder, through a buy now or a classified listing doesn't affect those terms of sale. So the moral here is to always sell your car 'as is where is' regardless of its condition and WOF status.
