Daniil Sablin, Managing Partner of SABATRUST Law Firm, provided expert commentary for Komsomolskaya Pravda on a situation faced by many used-car buyers: a vehicle is bought on the secondary market and registered with the traffic police, but years later is repossessed to cover the previous owner’s debts.
The central legal issue was that, at registration, the traffic police had not checked whether the vehicle was pledged to a bank. As a result, a good-faith buyer drove a vehicle subject to a security interest for years.
The article outlines specific ways to check a vehicle for encumbrances before buying it.
