Let's get into this article So it is from the Cardinal magazine again the sort of thumbnail is should Cardinal's be licensed Trading standards calls for card dealers to be licensed as part of clamp down on rogue traders Trading standards body says use card dealers should be subject to a licensing system Chartered trading standards interstitute says use cars are among the most complained about sectors and the outfit once stricter consumer protections Amid rising reports of dodgy dealers have been nice if it worked both ways But we'll get into that later on in its manifesto titled helping local communities and businesses to prosper The CTSI says that interventions by trading standards offices have prevented 1.9 million pounds of consumer detriment when it comes to use vehicles in the past Four years the body said over the last ten years the second hand car market has been one of the most complained about Industry sectors in the UK Rogue dealers who sell cheap clocked or unroadworthy cars often impact the most financially vulnerable consumers and that is 100% true so far this year car dealer has reported on several rogue car dealers who have ended up in court often with the help of trading standards offices Yesterday we brought you the news that use car dealer and Stockton on T's had been jailed after he admitted Multiple cases of fraud including selling a death trap citron In January, we also attended a Swansea Crown Court to see a dodgy dealer Adam Lewis jailed for selling a dangerous Toyota Yaris which was rotten to its court last summer South Coast car dealer Ashley Wilson was jailed for wiping a staggering 2.9 million miles from the odometer of 33 use cars That is some serious haircuts on those cars that's this lovely chap here Dodgy car dealer jailed for close to five years at Port Smith Crown Court Campaign began while 27 year-old was on bail for separate fraud charges so He's got history for it Obviously going forward the CTSI is now calling on the next government to introduce tighter checks on car dealers with a licensing system introduced Details on how such a system would work and how it would be applied remain limited But the basic principle has been backed by the outfits key stakeholders lead officers and members Outline its position the CTSI says trading standards as alert to continue to threats of high standards of protection for both consumers and business And we at the forefront of identifying new and emerging risks Our regulators law makers and politicians need to anticipate plan and respond to these challenges And ensure that the trading standard system is robust enough to deal with them That's about the crux of the article really it's just going on to say that you know the trading standards want this car dealers to be licensed and On some kind of register I guess So you would know that you're dealing with a licensed trader that they are probably a dear to some kind of Code of conduct which you know a lot of car dealers do anyway, you know you get the car dealer promise are the AA Car dealer promise we're signed up to that um Interesting to hear what you're going to say in the comments about this because Funnily enough this I've seen this being shared around a few kind of Car dealer groups and things that I'm involved with what's that groups And the kind of resounding answer that we're getting from car dealers Um who are doing the job properly as like bring it on I'd love it I'd love to have it um, you know, I'd love to sign up to something because Unfortunately that rogue element does give you know the good eggs a bad name So everyone gets tired of the same brush. I see it in my youtube comments all the time You know you're ripping people off your selling rock boxes blah blah all this sort of stuff There really is a really sort of negative stigma towards car dealers So if we could sign up to have a license that says that you know what actually we're doing the job right a bit like me when I'm doing gas Because I've got a plumbing heating company I'm on the gas safe register because I've done all the training and I'm safe and you know I know how to do things correctly. So I don't blow up your house Well if I could sign up for something to do with car sales for that as well I would 100% do it anything that says you know that we're above bored and honest Is great the only thing I'd say is I would like this If it were to come in a it shouldn't cost us an absolute fortune I don't mind paying to you know be licensed to a degree but I'm not paying like ridiculous amounts of money And I'd also like it to perhaps be taken into account perhaps when they do this licensing of use cars They could kind of reconsider the consumer rights laws when it comes to use cars as well Because the consumer rights act that everyone likes to quote when it comes to buying a car It covers everything it covers everything from buying a sofa to a hair straightener and you know A 15-year-old used car can't really be treated in the same way So I feel like there needs to be some real change. They need to make some You know some serious guidelines It's all well-in-good saying all use car dealers are dodgy But if someone's coming back and saying they need to reject the car because They went over a pothole and got a puncture and therefore that must be the dealers fault because they've got three months warranty That is ridiculous. I think there needs to be better guidelines on how everyone can work in this industry together Better and 100% clamping down on people who are selling on Facebook marketplace Literally just wiping the car over and sending out without you know a second thought much like this guy What was his name Alan no Simon Rathallic um That's another chap though. There's no one Alan Lewis was the chap with the Toyota, you know rotten to its core Just getting cast from auction getting them from anywhere not looking them over whatsoever Don't even know if it's rusty underneath don't even know if you know brake pipes are corroded or anything like that They are maybe just getting a ghost MOT, you know paying someone to give them an emity over the phone Well, flogging them on to someone unsuspecting no one a car dealers get a bad name and everyone thinks that we're ripping them off When you know people with a four-court and a garage and an established business like myself try to do things correctly Spend the money to make sure that the cars are up to scratch that we can give you the service afterwards And we still get slated because now we're charging too much and we're ripping people off So difficult one and as I say it's going to be interesting in the comments and it'll be interesting to hear from consumers and dealers alike I think most people would think this is a good idea and I imagine it will come into play and as there are updates I will keep you updated for sure Um, it can't be anything but a good idea really but training standards and the government will find a way to make this awkward and stupid and just not fit for purpose because that is what they do best So while this has a lot of promise it could end up being a complete nightmare and make things even more complicated But we will see talking of dodgy dealers and buying cars and mileage is being wiped off of cars It's a perfect time to remind you of today's video sponsor which is a vehicle score So if you head to vehiclescore.co.uk You can get free score on your car just from its registration based on its age, mileage, emity, history and many more factors bareamotors.co.uk and we'll just find the first car that comes up This Volkswagen Passat so our registration is Delta Echo 67 Victor Romeo November let's get a score And it tells us it's 749 Good the average score for one of these vehicles is 699 not bad Now what you can do a million of one things on here including the mileage tracker, history if someone's done a report on this car and it's over 20 days old you can see that paid report for free Who else does that you can get a future value estimated you've got the AI mechanic on there But most importantly if you are going to hand over your hard and cash then you need to do a check Because that check is going to check for things like whether this car has been written off and that's not being declared to you Whether it's been at a salvage auction and it isn't as an insurance write-off or whether the mileage might have been clucked You can do their salvage plus report for two pounds 97 the ultimate report for eight pounds 97 Well the one that I recommend that gives you ultimate peace of mind is the ultimate report plus because it gives you 10,000 pounds worth of Experience data guarantee It will tell you whether it's an import export. It's got a salvage check It would give you a full breakdown of your score It check whether there's any finance outstanding on that car. That's a big one you need to look out for And it will check for mileage clocking as well and not only that vehicle scores now running cash giveaways every month 600 pound price draw this would give you three entries into that as well Even better use my code shifting metal 20 and you get 20% off making that ultimate report plus just nine pounds 58 so just a very quick video because it's a quick article We don't really have that much information yet.
