First question- are you a Trader? (this will then dictate the answer to your question).

Really? Even after 2 years? Surely a dealer would have fulfilled their CGA obligations after 2 years!

No sign of the sale in your feedback, but your latest feedback is hideous. What is going on?

prt21-Id like to post--"2 years you gotta be kidding me" but nothing surprises me nowadays. First question I have is--Whats it got to do with mum? Your sale and all sale documentation relates to the 27 year old

Ok so you are a motor vehicle trader yes? Then any discussions of any sort need to be with the person/persons you sold the vehicle to. have you got a copy of the original advert?-ie maybe a trade me auction? Have you got the VOSA and CIN card? What do they say ?

2 years i wonder do you still have to give consumer guarantee after you sold a car 10 years or what?

A) "Confident" or you "Did" ? B) But anyway and REGARDLESS, the car was bought, it's had WOF's since (or even just when you sold it), how can she expect you to do anything at all about anything ? I don't see why you need any advice here ?

So 2 years ago--was the vehicle sold as an as is where is auction? Back they it was legal. frankly my response to mum would be."Im really sorry but I need to speak to the purchaser of the vehicle" If something ever did come of it that would be the path you would be legally required to follow anyway. If mr now 29 does then make contact you need to determine exactly what he is expecting of you and why

The Min of Consumer Affairs website mentions a period of 6 years for a fault in a vehicle.

There hasn't been a fault. It was lowered when sold.

It was a response to Intrades comment rather than the op's problem.

Interesting thread - I have a Caldina that I will be selling soon.
Lowered .

I don't know the law, but surely after that timeframe it's not your problem. Who's to say that they haven't fiddled with it since you sold it to them?

Given the lowering has passed a number of WOFs by the seller and the buyer, it can't constitute a fault. Therefore it's simply a feature, like paint colour, stereo or air conditioning. Could you ask for compensation if the car was a colour you no longer liked?

No expert here but a 27yr old guy comes to buy a car, 2 years later mum dont like it Would have thought a 27 yr old would have known it had been lowered ,has had w o f for past couple of years mum says ,what are you going to ddo about it ? , nothing sounds good to me surley even as a dealer which i understand is correct, you cant be responsible after 2 years of motoring

Bit OT but we sold a house property 6 weeks ago. Had a ring from purchaser this week demanding a Code of Compliance for the electrical work done in 1973 which was 7 owners before us! There truly are some knobs out there.

So, it was sold like that and does not require certification, and is fully legal. I'd say you're okay op. Maybe mum doesn't realise it's legal and ok.

I bet sonny knew right from the start it was on 19s, but didn't let mummy know. Mummy has just found out that her precious wee one is driving around in a non standard vehicle and wants it back to standard to make it "safer" for her sonny boy. I bet mummy paId for the car and sonny still lives at home.
"Claims can be made under the CGA for up to 6 years from the time the problem appears.
However, a delay in the consumer taking action may affect or limit the range of remedies available to them.
If the consumer wants to claim a cash refund or a replacement vehicle because of a serious fault, the claim must be made within a ???reasonable time??

and the OP has gone--what happened?

Probably the really bad feedback or the fact he was using someone else's account. Looks like we are still being watched!
