Motor dealer convicted of selling ‘clocked’ car
Timmy Keane, aged 61, of Harold’s Cross Cottages, Dublin 6, had pleaded not guilty to selling a 08-reg Volkswagen Passat with an misleading odometer which had a reading 60,000km less than it should have been, on dates in April and June 2012.
Keane — who was prosecuted at the Dublin District Court by the National Consumer Agency — claimed he was not responsible for stocking cars at his family business, VK Motors Ltd in Harold’s Cross, and said he was no longer in control of the firm.
