Secondhand Motor Vehicle Dealership

On 16/06/2021, I purchased a Ford Eco sport from the dealer for an amount of R225 000.00. I took delivery of the vehicle on 19/06/2021. On 20/06/2021 the vehicle's mag wheel disintegrated causing the vehicle to leave the road and to be damaged beyond economic repair. After the accident, I paid for an accident report which concluded that the vehicle had, unknown to me, been involved in a previous collision which compromised the vehicle and in particular the righthand side thereof including the mag wheel. A copy of the report is attached here to. The dealer never informed that the vehicle was previously in an accident even though I asked. It is also clear that the vehicle suffered from defects as per the report which were never disclosed to me. Had I known of the defects to the vehicle I would never have purchased the vehicle
