You're also assuming that the trader himself knew of the advisories. It was MOT'd 6 months ago and most likely came into the traders hands with the advisory already removed. A quick glance at the MOT to check the dates is all that may have happened.

In fairness to Bushnut, you can quote the "Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008" to the dealer and specifically point out "Misleading Omission"
Laws like this get up my **** but they can be useful ammunition to consumers.

After speaking to mark earlier at J3 (your local electrical wholesaler off Junction3 asda round about ) one of the lads that works there bought a poo car, went to trading standards and after a while they replaced the old engine with a new one result!

! Is no-one listening? I work at a garage, you have had your time to get your money back and the warranty has ran out. Game over, you should of checked the car out BEFORE buying it, ie: vosa website, history & Mot check, hpi check etc, the dealer does NOT have to show you the advisorys, it's up to YOU to check the car out & you never EVER listen to what a dealer tells you as 9/10 they are filling you full of crap! Just out of interest, what's the milage of this Ka?
I do find it strange that this dealer has given you a warranty on a £1000 car anyway? Also if he knew the car was a mess there is no way he would of given a warranty on it.

[quote=_ Mike T just because it's 16 years old it doesn't mean it's a shed. Some people aren't mugs that go out getting finace [/quote] Yeah, I know Ste. I'm completely debt free mate, I'm good with money, something I learned from my old mum. And I don't agree. Any car more than ten years old, unless it's being preserved or has been restored, is a shed. Especially if it's a piece of cheapo Ford shite designed to last five years. Look at Honest John's guide on the Ka - everything there agrees with what I said, and the common faults he lists are the same as the OP has. Cheap cars are a false economy. They're being sold cheap for a reason. Better to spend more and get a newer one with a decent warranty.

To Sell cars as a Trader Have to sell cars with a warranty. As we know the warranty means nothing and these warranty certificates can be purchased off e-bay for about 15p each. I think the min warranty they can offer is 3 months. As you say your 18 and i think this is "Lesson Learned" i'm sure we all have done it in the past. - - - - - - - - - - - - sarah2 The e-mail should contain the links and reference to your statutory rights where you can just fill in your details making it personal to you.

All cars from registered dealers must come with a warrenty of some description.
More expensive cars get a more comprehensive policy, cheaper cars will get the more mimimum mechanical policy.
If the car had a fresh MOT then it was deemed fit for the road, and fit for purpose. The Headgasket issue should be covered by the warrenty, however, if thats paid for by the dealer, and the cost to repair is more than the cars worth, he may offer a refund - but only on the headgasket cost basis.
What If There Were No Hypothetical Questions?

So if he's got the car in the garage and he's fixing it and you've just got some advisories what's actually the problem. The advisories may still be that in five years time. Yes you may have paid over the odds for the car but you can't just take something back cos you found out it's not worth that much a few months later

Every scratch and signs of wear do not have to be made aware to potential buyers. But... anything that could be classed as "material information" does. Material information is the kind of information which would affect a consumer's decision whether to buy a product or how much they would be willing to pay.
