✍️ Sample OMVIC Questions & Answers

1. How long must an OMVIC-registered dealer retain copies of bills of sale and related transaction records under the MVDA?

✓ 3 years

The MVDA requires registered dealers to retain all transaction records including bills of sale for a minimum of 3 years for compliance and audit purposes.

2. Under the MVDA, what obligation does a dealer have when selling a vehicle that has existing structural damage?

✓ Disclose the structural damage to the buyer before completing the sale

Structural damage is a mandatory disclosure item regardless of repair cost; dealers must inform buyers of known structural damage prior to sale.

3. Under OMVIC's advertising standards, which of the following must be disclosed in a vehicle advertisement that promotes a specific sale price?

✓ All fees, charges, and taxes payable by the consumer to drive the vehicle off the lot

OMVIC requires that advertised prices must represent the total amount the consumer will pay, including all mandatory fees and charges (except HST and licensing fees, which must still be clearly disclosed). Hidden charges not included in the advertised price are prohibited.

4. Under OMVIC regulations, a contract of purchase and sale for a motor vehicle must be provided to the buyer:

✓ At the time of signing

The dealer must provide the buyer with a copy of the signed contract at the time of signing, not after the fact.

5. What is the correct OMVIC definition of 'all-in price' for advertising purposes?

✓ The total price of the vehicle including all dealer fees and charges, excluding HST and licensing only

OMVIC defines all-in price as the total price the consumer will pay including all dealer-generated fees, with the only permitted exclusions being HST and actual government licensing charges.

6. Under Ontario's Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, which of the following must be included in a written contract for the purchase of a used vehicle from a registered dealer?

✓ The vehicle's year, make, model, VIN, odometer reading, agreed purchase price, and all fees and charges

The MVDA and OMVIC regulations require that all vehicle purchase contracts include complete vehicle identification, the agreed price, and a full breakdown of all fees and charges so consumers know exactly what they are paying.
