There has recently been some media coverage regarding sale of vehicles without a current warrant of fitness (WoF). Here's a summary of the law as it currently stands:
The person who sells the vehicle must ensure that it has a current WoF issued no more than 1 month before the delivery of the vehicle to the purchaser, unless they receive written confirmation from the purchaser that:
The person who sells the vehicle must ensure it has a current WoF at the time of sale, unless they receive a written confirmation from the purchaser that they will not operate the vehicle except for the purpose of obtaining a WoF.
The person who sells the vehicle must ensure it has a current CoF or temporary permit at the time of sale, unless they receive a written confirmation from the purchaser that they will not operate the vehicle except for the purpose of obtaining a CoF.
Note: stating 'as is, where is' will not meet these requirements
