Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car?
When it comes to buying a car most of the companies always ask for the current roadworthy certificate. This is to easily transfer the registration of the used vehicle at the time of selling it to the new owner.
However, the company doesn’t necessarily specify who should get the roadworthy certificate (buyer or seller). Although it is possible to get a deal in which a buyer can also get a roadworthy certificate, but it is not considered to be a smart idea.
This is because if you leave the responsibility of the roadworthy certificate on the buyer you are simply depending on their honesty. After that you can submit the certificate and the completed paperwork to the company within the specified time period. And, you will need to arrange all this paperwork within the time which the company has given you. If you fail to do so and the vehicle is still registered in your name officially you will be liable for the driving infringements or parking fines (If any).
Additionally, you can easily get a good deal for your automobile if you are able to present the current roadworthy certificate of your wheels.
