Hidden Commercial History of Used Car
I purchased a second-hand 2019 model car through a local broker. Before buying, I checked the vehicle history through the showroom over a phone call, and the details seemed genuine. I was informed that the car had run around 38,000 km and there was no mention of any commercial usage.
Recently, while casually checking the vehicle history again, I found that the car was actually registered as a commercial vehicle earlier and was converted to a private vehicle in December 2025. Neither the broker nor the previous owner informed me about this at the time of purchase.
I want to know whether this amounts to misrepresentation or hiding important vehicle history, and whether I can take any legal action against the broker or the previous owner for not disclosing this information before the sale. Please advise on the possible legal options and what documents/evidence would be required.
TLDR: Broker sold me a used car without informing it was previously commercial.
