Motorists warned against dangers of buying used car online

Motorists have been warned against buying a used car online, as it could spell disaster for their safety.

In fact, one in five used cars advertised online have safety issues, revealed by trading standard chiefs.

The warning comes after London Trading Standards inspectors investigated adverts from 155 cars for sale in London and discovered one in six private sellers were likely to be rogue traders.
