Motor Dealers Licence
This licence is required to conduct a business which involves the buying, selling, dismantling or exchanging of new or second-hand motor vehicles.
Motor vehicles include cars, trailers, motorcycles, tractors and commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles are vehicles made especially to carry goods, ten or more passengers or for industrial or agricultural use. Tractors, dual cab and crew cab vehicles are commercial vehicles. Four-wheel drive vehicles with at least one forward facing rear passenger seat (unless they are dual cab or crew cab vehicles) are not commercial vehicles.
You will also require a licence if you intend to buy, sell or exchange motors, gearboxes and certain other types of parts or accessories.
