South Africa used car from a dealer: what if it is defective within six months?

Jez Smith4 October 2026

South Africa’s Consumer Protection Act provides an implied warranty of quality. For qualifying defective goods returned within six months after delivery, the consumer can direct the supplier to repair, replace or refund, subject to the Act and facts. The National Consumer Commission has enforced these rights in used-car disputes. Official sources: Consumer Protection Act / National Consumer Commission.
