Second-hand goods
There are a number of implied warranties on second-hand goods purchased from a trader. These include:
- goods must be of ‘merchantable quality’, unless the consumer is informed otherwise
- goods must be fit for the purpose supplied
-
goods must be as described, or match the sample.
With second-hand goods the price, age and condition should be taken into account.
Goods bought second-hand at auction are not covered by implied warranties.
