Answer key with explanations

1. C — Up to two years
Section 37 prescribes up to two years of advertising pre-approval under MVDA section 29. The period follows the applicable unappealed or Tribunal-upheld order process; it is not an automatic two-year restriction on every advertiser.
OMVIC, the MVDA and its regulations · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 37; MVDA s. 29(4)–(5); checked 2026-10-24
2. C — 90 days or 5,000 km, whichever comes first
Section 63 covers new or reconditioned installed parts and installation labour for at least 90 days or 5,000 km, whichever occurs first. Misuse/abuse concerns the affected part, and a repairer needs reasonable grounds before refusing reimbursement on that basis. It does not automatically void every unrelated repair warranty.
Consumer Protection Act and repairs · Based on: Consumer Protection Act, 2002, s. 63(1), (5)–(6); checked 2026-10-24
3. A — The recorded odometer reading and the credit given
Trade-in details include the owner, VIN, make, model, year, trim, colour, body type, recorded odometer reading, the credit allowed, a statement from the customer on the s. 42 disclosure items and any agreement to pay off a loan. Resale plans and original price are not required.
Contract requirements · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 43(4); checked 2026-10-24
4. A — Registered dealers, or equivalent registrants located in another jurisdiction at sale
Section 2(3), paragraph 7 permits registered dealers and persons located in another jurisdiction at sale who hold equivalent registration there. The exemption has other ownership, access, identification, disclosure and record conditions. Retail auctions under section 46 are a separate setting.
CAMVAP, consignment, plates, auctions and branding · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 2(1), para. 1; s. 2(3), especially para. 7; checked 2026-10-24
5. C — Leave them with the dealer unless a lawful, authorized transfer is arranged
Access for work does not automatically authorize copying customer information for a new employer or a new purpose. Personal-information use and disclosure must respect applicable consent and lawful exceptions. Calling the information someone’s property does not remove the customer’s privacy rights.
Dealer premises, records, privacy and trust accounts · Based on: Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada — meaningful consent, Consent: purposes, recipients and new uses; checked 2026-10-24
6. B — The truck must be fit for that stated purpose
Section 15(1) concerns a disclosed particular purpose, reliance on the seller’s skill/judgment and goods of a kind the seller supplies. In that stated scenario, reasonable fitness for that purpose is implied. Merely mentioning a use without those conditions is not enough to establish the same conclusion in every sale.
Researching vehicles and the Sale of Goods Act · Based on: Sale of Goods Act, s. 15, para. 1; checked 2026-10-24
7. A — 59,200 km
A distance is deemed accurate if within the lesser of 5 per cent or 1,000 km. For 60,000 km, 5 per cent is 3,000 km, so the 1,000 km limit applies: only readings from 59,000 to 61,000 km count, so 59,200 km is the one that qualifies.
Required disclosures and the right to cancel · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 50(4); checked 2026-10-24
8. D — The appeals committee established under section 17
A party may appeal a final discipline order to the appeals committee under section 17(5). Under section 17(6), it may overturn, affirm or modify the order and make an authorized discipline order. This question identifies that statutory appeal route; it does not rule out every possible judicial-review remedy.
Inspections, curbsiders and the Code of Ethics · Based on: Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002, s. 17(2), (5)–(6); checked 2026-10-24
9. C — Not driveable, not certified, and the price of certification if offered
OMVIC’s unfit-vehicle guidance calls for a clear not-driveable/not-certified disclosure and the certification price if offered. That certification charge cannot be mandatory. Other intended mandatory fees remain in the advertised price.
Advertising and all-in pricing · Based on: OMVIC — All-in Price Advertising, Unfit vehicle; checked 2026-10-24
10. D — Licensed-insurer protection or the prescribed irrevocable letter of credit
Section 47(1) requires performance insurance from an insurer licensed under the Insurance Act or the prescribed irrevocable letter of credit to the Fund’s trustee. If the warranty seller goes out of business, a facilitating dealer can be liable for a covered claim amount not paid from that security under section 47(3). This is not a promise that every warranty claim is payable by the Fund.
Extended warranties, service plans and the Compensation Fund · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 47(1)–(3); checked 2026-10-24
11. C — A qualifying dealer-only auction with no property interest in vehicles
The auction exemption requires the conditions in section 2(3), including no auctioneer property interest and eligible dealer buyers, with access and record requirements. It is not a blanket exemption for every business called an auction, broker or exporter.
Registering dealers and salespeople · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 2(1), para. 1; s. 2(3); checked 2026-10-24
12. D — Sale of the leased vehicle to its existing lessee
The fee was already paid when the vehicle was leased, so a sale to the lessee during or at the end of the lease is exempt, as is a sale to another registered dealer. As-is, fleet and demonstrator deals all attract the fee.
OMVIC, the MVDA and its regulations · Based on: OMVIC — Transaction Fees, Exempt transactions; checked 2026-10-24
13. C — Yes, a court can consider oral statements made during the deal
CPA section 18(10) allows oral evidence about an unfair practice despite a written agreement and despite whether the representation appears in it. Admissibility is not an automatic finding that every alleged promise was made or breached. Section 11 separately resolves qualifying ambiguity to the consumer’s benefit.
Consumer Protection Act and repairs · Based on: Consumer Protection Act, 2002, s. 18(10); s. 11; checked 2026-10-24
14. C — Show it truthfully as negative equity on the contract
The shortfall is $16,000 minus $7,000, or $9,000. Contract and trade-in information must be accurate. Hiding it by inventing a higher vehicle price or warranty charge misrepresents the deal; truthful disclosure does not by itself guarantee lender approval.
Contract requirements · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, ss. 39(2), 43(4); O. Reg. 332/08 s. 4; checked 2026-10-24
15. C — It binds both parties, subject to limited court-review rights
Agreement section 12.1 makes the award final and binding but expressly preserves very limited rights to court examination under arbitration legislation. Section 12.2 also addresses minor-error corrections. “Final” must not be rewritten as “no possible court review under any circumstances.”
CAMVAP, consignment, plates, auctions and branding · Based on: CAMVAP — Agreement for Arbitration, ss. 12.1–12.2; checked 2026-10-24
16. A — Its own enclosed, lockable office with room for six years of records
Each dealer at a shared site needs a separate, permanent, fully enclosed and lockable office with space to store six years of records, plus clearly marked display areas or vehicle signs. A shared office does not meet the rule.
Dealer premises, records, privacy and trust accounts · Based on: ACC Student Manual, English 2026 edition, Ch. 3.03 — shared general-dealer premises; checked 2026-10-24
17. B — Ontario history alone does not establish the complete out-of-province history
ServiceOntario describes the UVIP as including Ontario registration history, lien and other specified information. Do not treat that as a complete history for every jurisdiction or every accident. The dealer must still research and provide the applicable required disclosures.
Researching vehicles and the Sale of Goods Act · Based on: ServiceOntario — Used vehicle information package, Package contents; Ontario vehicle registration history; checked 2026-10-24
18. D — Two or more adjacent panels replaced, other than bumpers
The regulation requires disclosure if two or more adjacent panels that are not bumper panels have been replaced. A single repaint, bumpers alone or cosmetic polishing are not on the list, though material facts must still be disclosed.
Required disclosures and the right to cancel · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 42, paras. 15, 25; checked 2026-10-24
19. C — A justice of the peace on an investigator’s application
A justice of the peace decides an investigator’s warrant application on sworn information and the statutory reasonable-ground test. The warrant defines authorized searches and conditions; entering a dwelling needs express authorization. Routine inspection powers and warrant-based investigation powers are different.
Inspections, curbsiders and the Code of Ethics · Based on: Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002, ss. 18–19, especially s. 19(1)–(4); checked 2026-10-24
20. D — Freight, PDI, administration fees and all other required charges
The single-dealer advertised price includes the vehicle and required trade charges, including freight, PDI, administration and levies. OMVIC allows HST and licensing to be excluded when clearly and prominently identified. Joint-dealer variable-charge rules are a separate exception.
Advertising and all-in pricing · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 36(7)–(10); OMVIC all-in-price guidance; checked 2026-10-24
21. C — The board can declare a shortfall that dealers must cover
The Board may declare a shortfall if the Fund is or is anticipated to be below $3 million. General dealers, brokers and lease finance dealers then fall under the prescribed assessment rules; the notice sets the amount, payable within 60 days. This is not an automatic taxpayer top-up or a salesperson renewal fee.
Extended warranties, service plans and the Compensation Fund · Based on: O. Reg. 333/08, s. 75(4)–(7); checked 2026-10-24
22. B — At least one officer or director and the daily operations manager
For this specific corporate-management arrangement, section 11(3), paragraph 3 identifies at least one officer or director and the individual managing daily operations. Do not generalize it to every corporate structure or ignore the registrar’s current course requirements.

23. D — The dealer, who may choose to charge it to the customer
Dealers remit a transaction fee for each sale or lease and may pass it on to the customer. Salespeople pay no fee, customers do not remit it to OMVIC, and lenders are not responsible for it.

24. A — An individual acting for personal, family or household purposes
The statutory definition concerns an individual acting for personal, family or household purposes and excludes business purposes. It is not determined by cash payment or a price threshold. A transaction outside this definition may still be governed by other laws; it does not become unregulated.

25. D — MSRP, with an itemized list of extra equipment and options
Section 39(2), paragraphs 11–13 require the vehicle’s MSRP, itemized manufacturer prices for extra equipment/options and total MSRP. Dealer acquisition cost, staff commission and a predicted resale value are different information.

Section 6.1 permits a manufacturer buy-back under the program’s calculation and conditions, including less than 60,000 km and no more than 36 months in service at the hearing. Other authorized awards include repairs and specified reimbursement. Section 6.5 excludes punitive awards and warranty extensions.

The official course manual’s premises guidance lists a valid OAP4 garage and auto policy with at least $1,000,000 third-party coverage. The alternatives do not meet that specified garage/auto policy requirement.

28. A — The seller’s right to sell the goods
Section 13(a) implies the seller’s right to sell, subject to the section’s contract context. Quiet possession and undisclosed third-party encumbrances are separate paragraphs. Good faith alone does not establish title; the question identifies the condition rather than promising a particular court award on incomplete facts.

29. D — Yes, the right applies even if the dealer acted in good faith
Section 50(2) preserves this qualifying right despite the dealer’s lack of knowledge, honest belief or verification efforts. The buyer must still satisfy the other section-50 requirements, including the time and written-notice rules.

30. C — No notice is required
Section 15 permits an inspection at a reasonable time without advance notice, excluding any part used as a dwelling. An inspector must produce evidence of authority on request and may not use force under the inspection provision. This is different from a warrant-based investigation.

31. D — Leave the fee out of the price but say it may apply and what it is for
Section 36(9) allows this treatment for a charge whose amount varies among two or more joint-advertising dealers. The ad must clearly and prominently state that the amount may be additional and identify its purpose. This is not a general permission for a single dealer to hide mandatory fees.

32. B — It may have to repay the Fund or risk losing its registration
MVDA section 42 allows prescribed reimbursement duties for a dealer or former dealer. Default without accepted repayment arrangements, or non-compliance with those arrangements, can support refusal to renew subject to the statutory process. Payment of a claim does not automatically revoke registration or erase the dealer’s debt.

34. C — The Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002
The Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, 2002 (MVDA) sets the rules dealers and salespeople must follow. The Highway Traffic Act deals with roads and vehicle permits, the Sale of Goods Act with implied conditions of sale, and the insurance act with mandatory coverage.

The definition of irreparable includes a total-loss vehicle immersed to the bottom of the dashboard or higher, as well as listed electrical-system and structural cases. This question uses that stated threshold rather than asserting that every vehicle with any water exposure has the same brand.

39. D — The dealer must fulfil that loan-payoff agreement
Section 9(5) requires the dealer receiving the trade-in to fulfil its agreement to pay the outstanding loan or covered repair/storage bill. Verify payoff and release rather than treating resale as cancellation of the promise. This provision does not itself state a universal number of days or automatic revocation for every breach.

40. D — That specific rule no longer automatically applies
Section 42, paragraph 7(i) contains the later-non-dealer-ownership exception. It does not erase other disclosure duties, including material facts under paragraph 25. This is not permission to conceal relevant history whenever a private owner appears in the chain.

41. B — Give a receipt and return the files as soon as possible
Under section 15(2)(c), an inspector may temporarily remove relevant items to copy or examine them, must give a receipt, and must return them as promptly as possible. The routine inspection is still subject to section 15’s limits, including reasonable time, no dwelling entry and no force.

43. D — An agreement to pay component repair or replacement costs, including labour
The General regulation defines an extended warranty as an agreement by a non-exempt person to pay component repair or replacement costs, including labour, in addition to a warranty supplied or implied by law. It need not begin only when a manufacturer’s warranty expires.

MVDA section 4 requires registration before acting as a salesperson, and registration must relate to the dealer represented. Employment alone, or having another person sign the contract later, does not authorize unregistered trading.

Section 22(2) combines a customer-protection requirement with a listed trigger: a search warrant or specified business-related proceedings. It does not create an unrestricted power to freeze funds for any business disagreement.

Section 58(2) prohibits charging more than 10% above the estimate for the estimated work: $800 × 1.10 = $880. Work must still be authorized; this ceiling is not an automatic entitlement to charge extra. The declined-estimate/authorized-maximum route has separate conditions in section 56(2).

The required Sales Final statement is next to the purchaser’s signature on the same page. Section 39(2), paragraph 24 specifies a 12-point bold body and 14-point bold heading. The statement itself preserves rights arising when a dealer fails certain legal obligations.

Section 40(2), paragraph 5 prescribes the statement, type size and buyer initials; section 40(3) bars an as-is sale where a current safety certificate has been issued. CPA section 9(3) separately voids terms purporting to negate or vary its covered implied protections. An as-is statement is not a blanket waiver of all consumer rights.
