I viewed a car locally, all looked okay with the car itself and I paid for it by bank transfer on Wednesday last week, to be delivered on Friday. When I received the car, there was a manufacturer warranty book (nothing from the dealer itself who said I would get a 3 month warranty), and old MOT certificate for 2020 (a new one was done on 6/8 before I took delivery) and the green V5 slip. I looked at the info and queried where the MOT certificate was on Friday night with the lady at the dealership who sold it to me and she said she had 'only received it that day' and that I could look online, when I did I found out that the mileage was 74500 and not 61000 as advertised on Autotrader and as noted on the Invoice or note of sale that I signed. I queried this with her and she said she would look into it when she was next in the office but I have had no response since, what are my legal rights as although I know I should have been more vigilant with my checks I feel proper done over. I also noted that the MOT originally failed on 6/8 with a dangerous defect yet was meant to be in an excellent condition, and found out it was an auction car although that it normal i believe, but that has now worried me that the new certificate (for which I still have no paper copy or invoice for works carried out) might be dodgy and the car might have problems.
I wondered legally what my rights are as I am a bit clueless about all this sort of thing. I also have since seen that the car was advertised under one name and the company is connected to another, for which there was signage in the office, this name was on the invoice and on looking on facebook several people have complained about her service and lack of compliance with regards to documents they were missing etc so am just wanting to know where to go next as I would be fine if it were a couple of thousand more miles but that is a big jump.... any help welcome!
