I reckon you need legal advice...... are you a member of the South Aus RAA ?
A bit of personal experience. I bought a QLD rego'd car and it had to be registered in NSW.
The seller and I did all the right things, diligent documents etc. When I presented these to the NSW RTA, they were not interested in any of them.
They wanted a Stat Dec from me detailing all relevant facts, previous owner, address, rego number, VIN and lots of other info.
None of this on the Stat Dec was checked to our documents by the RTA.
The Stat Dec is a legal document and if any of it was untrue and found out later, the 'criminal' consequences were on me.
As for the defect from 20 years ago. Forget it.
There would be any number of additional defects now, after sitting for 20 years. Tyres would be the first.
