Is it safe to buy a used car just because it has a dealer warranty?

No. A warranty cannot replace identity checks, service records, a history report or an inspection.

Read the maximum claim amount, excluded components, labour limits, servicing conditions and claims process. Statutory rights against a trader remain separate. A weak warranty can create the impression of protection while leaving expensive repairs excluded.
