Can a car warranty be transferred?

When a car is sold within its warranty period does that warranty 'travel' with the next purchaser?

Asked on 13 June 2025 by mike

Answered by David Ross
In the majority of instances a new car warranty will pass to the next owner when the vehicle is sold, but it is important to check the terms and conditions to ensure this is the case. You can also contact the manufacturer directly for clarification.
