Do a search and you will find lots of threads about this. Short answer no if its a private sale but it must be stated to the buyer and signed on paper.

Theoretically Dealers have to sell a car with a WoF no older than 30days however there are ways around this.

Must be under 28 days.
I am trying to think why a dealer would want to get around this, rather than just update the WOF.

Trades in that won't get a WoF without it costing them more than it's worth in labour but a handy person could buy the car and do the repairs themselves - win-win for both parties.
