Transport Department cautions used car buyers against de-registered vehicles

The Transport Department in India has issued a warning to used car buyers about the risks associated with purchasing de-registered vehicles, particularly those originating from Delhi. This advisory comes after an increase in cases where such vehicles were illegally resold using forged documentation. On July 17, 2026, Motor Vehicles Inspector Srinivasa Rao confiscated a de-registered vehicle in Tirupati and handed it over to the Mangalam depot. Regional Transport Officer Korrapati Muralimohan explained that diesel vehicles over ten years old and petrol vehicles over fifteen years old in Delhi must be de-registered per court orders, making them illegal to re-register. Buyers are urged to verify vehicle histories through local RTO offices or the VAHAN portal.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information regarding regulatory actions and legal requirements related to vehicle registration without overtly favoring any political ideology. It focuses on administrative procedures and legal mandates rather than taking a partisan stance.
