8 Sep 2025 Kia East Rand (Pty) LtdDefective used car: fine and refund order against Kia East Rand South AfricaConsumer protection and online retail €2,427

On 8 September 2025, on application by the National Consumer Commission (NCC, South Africa's consumer protection authority), the National Consumer Tribunal (NCT, the consumer protection adjudicator) found that car dealer Kia East Rand (Pty) Ltd had breached section 56(3) of the Consumer Protection Act: a used car sold in September 2022 remained defective despite several repair attempts, and the dealer refused the buyer's request to cancel the sale. The Tribunal ordered a refund of the purchase price of 245,075 ZAR within ten days and imposed an administrative fine of 50,000 ZAR.

What organisations can take from it

If a repair fails, the Consumer Protection Act requires the dealer to replace or refund – refusing risks a fine on top of the refund.
