used car warranty

I bought an almost three-year-old used car from a main dealer. By law, what is the minimum warranty they must give?

The car is three months off being three years old, and I have been told it has warranty for those three months, is that right?

The dealer remains liable for any defect that could have been present or starting to develop on the date of sale for 6 months from the date of sale.
