Mechanical Fitness Assessment (MFA) NOT REQUIRED at Public Auctions
Effective January 22, 2015, the Minister of Transportation has amended Section 15 of the Vehicle Inspection Regulation to exempt vehicles sold through a sale by public auction from the requirement to give a MFA to the buyer before entering into a contract to sell a motor vehicle.
Public auction buyers will be made aware though education and awareness that vehicles sold through a public auction should be considered to be in an "as is" condition.
Alberta Transportation is working with Service Alberta in developing a joint communication plan outlining this amendment.
