How long is the warranty on a used or new vehicle?


Warranties on vehicles are dependent on the Expressed Warranty given to the consumer. Ministry Paper (19) set out by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Technology stipulates that the warranty period of a used vehicle should be 90 days (3 months) or 5500 km, depending on which occurs first. Warranties on new cars, however, are for at least a year, but may be more, depending on the dealer.
