The National Consumer Commission said the cars were sold nationally.
WeBuyCars agreed with the National Consumer Commission to pay a fine of R2.5 million and refund the 31 consumers who complained.
Due to WeBuyCars not adhering to consumer rights regarding used cars, it now has to take the financial pain of refunds and fines, as well as other expenses.
The used car dealer must now pay up: R459 000 for the refund, R100 000 for the fine and the legal costs of the Consumer Commission.
The National Consumer Commission had been alerted to the defects by Belkin Limited (Belkin).
