GOODS/PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: 

Vehicles are sold according to the year of first registration on the NaTIS document and not the year of manufacture. The year of manufacture is unknown to Tirhani Auctioneers or Seller and no queries will be entertained regarding the year of manufacture.  It is the bidder’s responsibility to ascertain that the descriptions and specifications for assets are correct.

The Department of Transport has clarified an important distinction regarding vehicle records:

Official source for manufacture year: Only the manufacturing plant where a specific vehicle was assembled has the authority to declare that vehicles year of manufacture.
