Mahindra First Choice [MFCWL] — Certified Car which has failed to pass pollution test for having a faulty Catalytic Converter

Address:

Kolkata

Date of Incident: 28.02.2023
I had purchased a Toyota Corolla Altis car having manufacturing registration date of October 2015 . The car was a certified car as was mentioned in the website of Mahindra First Choice and was available for sale from Motorhut, Near Kamalgazi Flyover, Kolkata. The reason for purchasing the car from Mahindra First Choice was solely because it was a listed certified car in their website which goes through certain checks before disposal to customers. 7 days After the purchase was made I went for a pollution centre to check the pollution of my car and I was shocked to know that the car has failed to pass pollution test and having an excessive pollution. To my shock I took the car to Topsel Toyota in Ruby Crossing, kolkata and they confirmed that the car is having a faulty catalytic convertor and the cost of replacement of the same is Rs 70, 000. Eventually I found out that the car was blacklisted by RTO in their website and an FIR has been registered by the RTO . I wanted to enquire that how come Mahindra can certify a car in their website which fails to pass pollution test. What solution can be done. The purchase was done in February 2023
