The WoF must be no more than 1 month old, whether it is a private or dealer sale.

ETA reference to law

Cool!
But the way I read it is that the buyer and seller can also agree to change ownership even if it is older then one month, or without one . The seller just needs to get that agreement from the buyer in writing.

Thanks for replies.

I read it that dealer has obligation of 1 month minimum WOF on sale of a vehicle.
