How did you pay for the vehicle? For example, did you pay the deposit using a credit card?

We paid by debit card and there is a 30 day warranty on it, however, we have just heard from the Garage that is doing the repair to the brakes that they have found another brake line that is leaking and dripping brake fluid onto the exhaust.

It's up to you, but I wouldn't want to accept the loss in this way. I'd also consider that this trader might also sell unsafe cars to other people and potentially put lives/liberty/health at risk. "I'll see you in court" isn't an adequate defence against statutory consumer rights.

It is my understanding that, in law, the seller is liable for up to 6 months for any faults present at the time of sale. You must allow him one attempt to rectify the problems after which, if unsucessful, you are entitled to reject the car and receive a full refund.

When we went to view the car initially, he said that the brakes were very spongy and that this issue would be fixed, along with a full valet and wheel refurbishment. The car was then sent to another body shop in Swindon where the brakes were allegedly being fixed, full Valet done and the wheels refurbished. The car was cleaned (superficially!) wheels done and the brake pipe allegedly replaced, however, this pipe was the one that was subsequently found to be leaking by our mechanic last week - so he has had his chance to rectify the faults. |

It’s a real shame this didn’t work out for you. Really pity to see nice folks like yourselves fall prey to unscrupulous dealers knowingly selling unsafe cars. 2021 P400e Autobiography |
