True or False: If a vehicle was declared a total loss in a collision, but has since been repaired and received a structural safety certificate and a Safety Standards Certificate (SSC) from an authorized repair centre, the dealer does not need to notify a purchaser of the previous damage.

True
False
Not provided
Maybe

The correct answer is: False

This is because even if the vehicle has been declared roadworthy by an authorized centre, the dealer still has an ethical responsibility to inform the purchaser of the previous damage. Not providing this information could potentially lead to legal issues and could be considered fraudulent. Therefore, the dealer should always disclose any previous damage, regardless of it being deemed safe by an authorized repair centre. Option A is incorrect because the dealer should still inform the purchaser of the previous damage. Option C is incorrect because the information has been provided and should not be withheld. Option D is incorrect because there is a clear answer to this question, and "maybe" does not provide a definitive response.
