Trading in car for a new one, should i hand in Mot advisory notes?

Question

Hi, i am picking up my new car tomorrow and i know i need to hand in the V5 and MOT certficate but do i need to hand in the advisory notes that came with the MOT certificate?

Reason i am asking is that the SRS lights are on but i don't think the dealers picked up on this as they didn't take my car keys when giving me a value on my car even though i asked them specifically twice if they needed my car keys and they said no.

Also if i do have to hand in my advisory notes can they now turn around and give me a lower value for my part exchange?

Thanks

Answer 1

No!

Answer 2

The advisory note is exactly that.  It has no legal basis and you do not need to let the dealer have it.  There may be a moral right but no leagal one.  The dealer should have test driven your car before giving you a price....more fool him!

Answer 3

No, don't give them the advisory notes and don't mention them, just give them the V5 and MOT certificate.

Answer 4

Seeing as they did not give your vehicle a good check over, it sounds like they will sell your vehicle to a trader, so as long as they have the MOT certificate, they will be OK with that.

Good luck with your new car

Answer 5

just keep stum...you dont want to give them any reason to drop the trade ins price...
