22 Jun 2026 OzCar Pty LtdUsed car dealer OzCar: reprimand and licence conditions over unfair sales practices Fine
NSW Fair Trading (the consumer protection regulator of New South Wales) reprimanded used car dealer OzCar Pty Ltd on 22 June 2026 and imposed conditions on its dealer licence. The regulator refers to the maximum available in disciplinary proceedings and does not state the amount imposed on the company. The investigation found a pattern of dishonest conduct between 2023 and 2025; among other things, customers reported being pressured into signing or misled about the purpose of contracts, that contracts were not properly explained – including to particularly vulnerable buyers – and that vehicles of unacceptable quality were sold. Among other things, the company must introduce a compliance programme with training for sales staff, may no longer allow waivers of the statutory cooling-off right to be pre-filled, and must fix defects affecting safety or reliability before sale.
Waivers of a cooling-off right must never be pre-selected, and contracts must be demonstrably explained to customers – especially vulnerable buyers.

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.

17 Nov 2025 Atom Motorss Pty LtdNSW: car dealer Atom Motorss loses licence over false security interest information Other
NSW Fair Trading (the consumer protection regulator of New South Wales) cancelled the motor dealer licence of Atom Motorss Pty Ltd on 17 November 2025 and disqualified the company for five years. Measures against individuals are not set out here. According to the release, the company had traded as a motor dealer without a licence and, when selling vehicles to consumers, had given false information from the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR, the register of security interests in personal property) in the prescribed dealer forms.
Information on encumbrances on a vehicle must come from a current register search; false statements in dealer forms can cost the business its licence.
