Danny sells his second-hand car to BB Auto Traders, a used car dealer. During the verbal negotiations the vehicle is described as a 2017 Civit Honda. After the sale, BB Auto Traders discovered that the car was in fact a 2015 Civit Honda. The registration document stated it was first registered in 2017 and when Danny sold the car, he relied on the information detailed both within the car log book and on the registration document, but it turned out that the logbook was forged by the previous owner and the registration document was inaccurate.
