Cam Chain snapped on new van after 20 months / 114k miles

[WhiteVanMan5]

Serious question - is this something I'm capable of attempting myself, or should I be paying a lawyer to help me?

Here is my attempted rewrite (given the public nature of this forum, I have redacted bank account number, credit card number and name of the dealer):

Dear Sir/Madam,

Further to your rejection of my complaint, upheld by the Financial Ombudsman Service on 13^th July 2024 (ref: PNX-5013176-C7G1) I am writing to advise you that it is my intention to pursue my claim further through the courts. If you have changed your mind and now intend to resolve this matter, then please advise me of your intentions within 14 calendar days of delivery of this letter to avoid court action.

Details of my claim are as follows:

• I contend that [REDACTED] are in breach of contract in relation to my van purchase under the Sale of Goods Act Part 2 Section 14 (2B)(e). Namely that the van was not of satisfactory quality because it didn’t have the durability that a reasonable person should expect for the purpose it was bought for.
• I paid a £250 deposit on 19^th November 2021 using credit card [REDACTED] and the balance of £18,554 by bank transfer from my account [REDACTED]. I contend that you are liable under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for the full value of the van purchased for £18,804.
• Whilst my actual losses are significantly higher (as detailed in previous correspondence), I am reducing my claim to £10,000 in an effort to get this resolved. The value of this claim includes £4,500 for the adjusted loss in value of the vehicle from the failure, £4,100 for lost income, £1,300 for expert reports and £100 for vehicle recovery.

The van has a timing/cam belt (scheduled for replacement every 125,000 miles) and a timing/cam chain that is expected to last the lifetime of the van. After 113,887 miles, on 31^st of July 2023, a link in the timing/cam chain snapped, destroying the engine and making it uneconomic to repair.

If I do not receive a response to my letter within 14 days from the date of this letter then I intend to commence court action without further reference to you

Yours faithfully

[Pezza54]

The letter is much better
The claim value seems contrived
It would be safer to obtain a garage quote for a replacement engine
Reduce the amount for lost income - you will need proof
Provide actual costs (to the penny) for inspection report and recovery

[WhiteVanMan5]

Given it's a Vauxhall vehicle, am I not entitled to rely on the quote from Vauxhall? Although i haven't actually used that in my calculations as it's higher than the difference between value before the failure and the value after.
In my original submission to the credit card company, I provided an online valuation for my van, adjusted for the mileage, as reported by parkers.co.uk. This was some time after the issues (so provided a lower valuation). The figures there were £10,380 (dealer price), £7,255 (Dealer Part Ex) and Private Seller (£9,455). As I'm not mechanically minded I don't trust myself to buy from private sellers, so I buy from main dealers. I believe it is fair to use the dealer price as that is what it would cost me to replace the vehicle? (Incidentally, I've just got a new valuation and it has fallen a lot on those figures, with no extra miles - we're now looking at a dealer price of £6,680).
I believe the scrap value of the van from enquiries I made (verbal only) was approximately £1,500. I have no evidence of this.
The figures might look contrived, basically because they are, to cut the claim from over £25,000 to £10,000. However it is split up, justifying losses of £10,000 should not be a difficult job in that scenario should it?
I am self employed, and keep books for self assessment, so loss of income shouldn't be too hard to prove? I can tell you very quickly that my gross income in calendar year 2023 was £16,063.09 lower than in 2022. My gross income in Q3 2023 was £7,040.07 lower than Q3 2022. My gross income in Q4 2023 was £8,553.26 lower than in Q4 2022. The claim, IMO, falls very easily within the provable range. The lost income claim is very low against reality (really!). It almost seems easier to prove than the lost value on the van.
The expert reports figure is already exact. The vehicle recovery figure is not exact (it was £13x.xx).

Right, I've rewritten it with the following values.
Van value loss £6,955 (calculated with the Private seller price of £9,455 minus a generous assumed £2,500 scrap value)
Expert Report cost of £1,300, as charged
Vehicle Recovery £132.96 as charged
Lost earnings £1,612.04 a completely contrived number to take the value of my claim up to £10,000 (and well short of my actual lost income).

Does that sound more like the kind of numbers you were thinking of?

[Pezza54]

On Autotrader there is one Vauxhall Combo van (2020, double cab) that has over 100k miles on the clock, priced at £7795
If you can, print this advert just in case you need extra evidence to support your claim value
You shouldn't make up figures, you will need to show you have obtained the scrap value and how you have calculated your lost income for say a couple of weeks.
There is no need to show your calculations in the letter, but when you write your Particulars of Claim you need to keep the figures the same and show your calculations

[Pezza54]

You asked the question " should I be paying a lawyer to help me?"
I don't know the current rates a lawyer would charge to write the LBA and PoC. Possibly over £2k. More if you wanted the lawyer to continue to represent you completing the Directions Questionnaire and representing you in court

If you win your claim on the small claims track you will not get your legal costs back from the defendant.
The least financial risk is to be a litigant in person on the small claims track.

If you decide to represent yourself and send your LBA, you could start to draft your PoC

There are plenty of articles on the internet covering procedures on the small claims track, writing PoCs etc

To avoid wasting time redrafting the PoC you are welcome to return to LB for advice under this thread

[Pezza54]

There is an example of a PoC for a faulty car purchase (CRA not SoGA) under djz's thread "Used car problems" started on 29 February this year
You can either use the search function to find this thread or scroll back in time under view all posts

[WhiteVanMan5]

Can I ask what PoC stands for please? Using Google, the only answer I can get is "Proceeds of Crime" and it's clearly not that.

[WhiteVanMan5]

Thank you Huxie that is really helpful.

Pezza54 The nearest vehicle to mine that I can find on Autotrader is this one - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/van-det...02410185332804 - it's actually a pretty good match. Main differences are that the advertised one is slightly older (21 plate v 71 plate) and has slightly lower mileage (108k v 114k). The value now though is obviously considerably lower than it was over a year ago when the chain snapped. Should I use these figures now anyway? I have also just obtained a scrap value quotation from www.cartakeback.com of £1,534.

If I revise my claim using these figures, then it will look something like this:
Van value loss £5,421 (calculated with the Autotrader price of £6,955 minus Cartakeback scrap value of £1,534)
Expert Report cost of £1,300, as charged
Vehicle Recovery £132.96 as charged
Lost income £2,971.20 (My lost income from 1/8/22 to 17/8/22 compared to 1/8/23 to 17/8/23)
Total claim £9,825.16

Just to confirm that I have noted your previous comment about not showing calculations in the letter, I will display it in the letter as follows:
Van value loss £5,421
Expert Report cost of £1,300
Vehicle Recovery £132.96
Lost income £2,971.20
Total claim £9,825.16

I haven't sent the LBA yet. Is that ready to go now and should I do that straight away? I then prepare the PoC whilst I am waiting for a response?
Is an email of LBA acceptable (attached pdf) if I get confirmation of receipt?

[Pezza54]

The claim amount is now calculated ok. You have evidence to support it
You can attach the letter to an email
I would also send a paper copy in the post and obtain proof of postage.

[WhiteVanMan5]

I emailed the LBA to the credit card company this morning, as I was leaving for work. Just got home and have the following response (my email was sent at 07:56, their reply was timed at 09:10):

"Your claim under Section 75 of The Consumer Credit Act 1974

Thank you for contacting us.

Our decision remains unchanged as per the decision provided on 14/11/2023 under Section 75.

Since no new information has been provided and this matter was addressed by the ombudsman service on 13th July 2024, we will not respond further.

We would advise you to seek your own independent legal advice."

[Pezza54]

I couldn't find the ombudsman decision on their website
Are you able to find out the DRN number by searching on their website using the bank name, subject matter: section 75 and decision date?

[WhiteVanMan5]

I have searched and like you can't find it. It's not there under the obvious searches!
Unfortunately I haven't really got time to look any deeper at the moment (I'm up at 1am for work - so need to get to bed!).
I will try and work it out as soon as I can - it may not be until the weekend.

[WhiteVanMan5]

Ok, being unable to find it, I emailed the ombudsman to ask for the number, he responded with the following:

Thank you for your email. So you didn't take the case to decision, so you don't have a DRN number.

To be honest, that has taken me somewhat by surprise as I understood the judgement he sent me to be a decision. The statement from them was it could be taken further with added evidence (which I have provided a few times with added discussions)

Here are quotes of the two judgements that they have sent me (my redactions of personal or identifying information):

Your complaint about REDACTED PLC trading as REDACTED

Following on from my initial assessment dated 8 March 2024 I closed the complaint.

On 31 May 2024 Mr REDACTED contacted our service with new information which I then provided to REDACTED who advised that the new information hasn’t changed their view of the claim, which was not upheld.

I’ve looked carefully at the additional information Mr REDACTED has given me about the complaint. But I’m afraid it doesn’t change my conclusions about what’s happened – taking all the facts and circumstances into account.

Background

Mr REDACTED ordered a new Vauxhall Combo Van on 19 November 2021 and paid a deposit of £250 with his REDACTED credit card. The total cost was £18,804 and Mr REDACTED paid the remaining funds using his bank account. The van was delivered on 10 December 2021.

In July 2023 the van broke down. The dealers checked the van over and found the timing chain had snapped causing damage to the engine. The main dealers advised that the engine needed replacing.

After no getting any support from the dealers and Vauxhall Mr REDACTED contacted REDACTED for assistance. REDACTED investigated the claim and concluded there was no chargeback option and no valid Section 75 claim either.

Mr REDACTED disagreed with the outcome and REDACTED raised a complaint. REDACTED sent out their final response in December 2023. Mr REDACTED disagreed with the final response and also provided an independent assessment regarding the Van’s issues.

REDACTED reviewed the claim and sent out a further decision in January 2024 reiterating their
position.

Mr REDACTED then contacted our service for an independent assessment and I investigated the complaint and concluded that there wasn’t any clear evidence that showed that the Van was unsatisfactory at the point of sale and as such there wasn’t evidence of a breach of contract.

My findings

Following the initial assessment Mr REDACTED went away and has arranged for a new independent assessment of the van by the same inspector. The inspector stripped the engine and found ‘Examination of the broken timing chain revealed that it had failed due to a failed link that had opened up.’ The inspector went on to explain that ‘where there is a known fault and inherent defect with this engine which in my opinion was present from when the vehicle was produced.’

The inspector went on to conclude ‘This failure of the chain that caused the camshaft to jam up, shear its drive gear and thereafter mis-time the engine in my opinion is an occurrence that should not have occurred especially on an engine that had only covered 110,000 miles.’
In engineering terms timing chains such as this should last the lifetime of the engine and a failure such as this is very unusual. There is clear evidence that there is an inherent problem that was present from when the vehicle was produced and in my opinion this area of the engine was not built and designed to a sufficient standard. This is somewhat proved by the information given in the following appendix 1.

I have laid out in my previous report on this matter dated the 22nd of December 2023 [actual date was 8th March 2024] that the usage of this engine at the time of failure where the mileage was 110,000 miles was not over heavy use and clearly in engineering terms the engine had probably only just run itself in. The failure of the timing chain should not have occurred and in my opinion the expected life of this chain should have been the lifetime of the engine.’

The inspector finished by saying ‘It is therefore my professional opinion that this engine's failed due to the failure of the timing chain. This in my opinion has been caused by an inherent problem present on the vehicle at time of manufacture and purchase that the manufacturers are aware of.’

I provided this to REDACTED who concluded they found ‘the report provided contradicts the manufacture guarantees, doesn't state what the actual fault is or support the claims made in the previous report. The vehicle has still been used over 114,000 miles and supports wear and tear.’

Given the report and REDACTED’s position I have gone back and reviewed everything we know about the van and what happened to the engine.

Mr REDACTED bought a brand-new van in December 2021. When the engine failed in July 2023 it had completed around 110,000 miles, which is a considerable mileage for its age. It means the van was completing around 5,500 miles a month. Given these approximate figures I am safe and content in stating that the van was clearly durable. This means that the only option is to show that the failure was purely down to a manufacturing fault which was present at the point of sale.

It is clear that the inspector has this perspective and feels that the issue that affected Mr REDACTED’s van was a known issue for this engine and that the engine should have lasted longer than it did. Having considered this at length I am not of the same view.

Ultimately for us to be able to say that there has been a clear breach of contract, we have to be able to show that the engine failure was down to an inherent manufacturing fault. The inspector has clearly shown that the timing chain failed but what he hasn’t shown is that the timing chain didn’t fail due to wear and tear. While timing chains can last past the 100,000-mile mark but when they do it is down to regular servicing and ideal conditions and use. The fact is that it is hard to argue that the van has been used in the ideal conditions and use given that it has completed so many miles in such a short period of time.

I know the inspector has stated that ‘there appears to be a well-established situation where there is a known fault and inherent defect with this engine which in my opinion was present from when the vehicle was produce.’ However, having looked at the evidence the inspector had provided it doesn’t cover this car or this manufacturer.

Even if we assume the engine in this van is the one indicated in the information the inspector provided, it doesn’t have any guidance on how long a timing chain would last for the affected engines. The report also doesn’t clearly show that this van’s engine hadn’t been modified to resolve this possible issue. As the evidence the inspector has cited states, ‘according to the two technical notes in question, the PSA group has made modifications to this engine, the installation of an 8mm chain instead of a 7 and that of so called new generation exhaust valves.’

The other issue we have is that while the inspector was clear on the break of the chain, the evidence he has cited isn’t clear at all in how the breakages in the effected engines occurred.

Therefore, on balance having looked at the new report I am unable to say that this shows that there is evidence of a breach of contract on the basis that there is no clear evidence that the issue with the timing chain was down to poor manufacturing. Given the mileage it would have to be clear and obvious and that just isn’t the case here.

My Conclusions

Overall, I am not changing the outcome of this case for the reasons I have explained above. I am not persuaded that the evidence clearly shows that a breach of contract has occurred.

I appreciate Mr REDACTED will be disappointed by this outcome and I am very sympathetic to his situation as he has done everything, he could, to try to identify that a breach had occurred.
However, I hope this assessment is clear in explaining why I have reached this conclusion.


Next steps
I think this is a fair outcome in the circumstances, for the reasons I’ve explained. If you don’t want to take things further, there’s no need to do anything and we’ll close your case on 26 July 2024.
But if you decide that you don't accept what I’ve said – and want an Ombudsman to make a final decision on your complaint – you must provide any further evidence or representations by 26 July 2024. Requests for more time must also be made by that date. If I don’t hear from you by 26 July 2024 we might not be able to look at your complaint again.
Also just to let you know I will be out of the office from 25 July 2024 until 14 August 2024 and from 23 August 2024 until 28 August 2024.

And the earlier judgement provided:

Your complaint about REDACTED PLC trading as REDACTED

Thank you for waiting while I’ve been looking into this complaint.

I’ve now looked at all the information that Mr REDACTED and REDACTED PLC trading as REDACTED (REDACTED ) have given me. Based on what I’ve seen, I don’t think REDACTED has done anything wrong – so I’m not asking them to do anything more.

I’ve explained below why I think this is the right outcome – taking into account everything that’s happened.

Summary

Mr REDACTED is unhappy with how REDACTED have dealt with his claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Section 75).

Background

Mr REDACTED ordered a new Vauxhall Combo Van on 19 November 2021 and paid a deposit of £250 with his REDACTED credit card. The total cost was £18,804 including VAT and road tax. Mr REDACTED paid the remaining £18,554 using his bank account. The van was delivered on 10 December 2021.

On 31 July 2023 Mr REDACTED had to call out the RAC as the car broke down. The van was recovered to a Vauxhall main dealer, who advised that when they checked the van over, they found the timing chain had snapped causing damage to the engine. The main dealers advised that the engine needed replacing.

Mr REDACTED contacted the supplier from whom he bought the van. They were unable to assist due to the use of the van but suggested that he contact Vauxhall head office.

Mr REDACTED did this and Vauxhall after investigating the issue, declined to assist. As this was the case Mr REDACTED contacted REDACTED for assistance. REDACTED investigated the claim and concluded there was no chargeback option and no valid Section 75 claim either.

As a result, Mr REDACTED disagreed with the claim decision and REDACTED raised a complaint. REDACTED sent out their final response in December 2023. Mr REDACTED disagreed with the final response and also provided an independent assessment regarding the Van’s issues.

REDACTED reviewed the claim and sent out a further decision in January 2023 reiterating their position.

Mr REDACTED then contacted our service for an independent assessment of the claim and complaint.

My findings

When looking into cases, our service takes into account the law, any regulatory rules, or codes of practice together with consideration of good industry practice in order to reach an opinion on what’s fair and reasonable in the circumstances of the individual case.

Chargeback

In certain circumstances, a bank may be able to request a refund from the supplier through the chargeback scheme. This is a way in which settlement disputes are resolved between cardholders and suppliers/merchants.

They are dealt with under the relevant card scheme rules and in this case that is Mastercard. In certain circumstances the process provides a way for REDACTED to ask for a payment to be refunded.

Those circumstances can include such situations where services aren’t supplied by the company, where the service is cancelled by the consumer and a refund hasn’t been processed in line with the cancellation policy or where a credit or refund has been promised but not processed.

There is no obligation for a card issuer like REDACTED to raise a chargeback when a consumer asks for one and there are time limits in which a claim can be raised. However, if the claim has been raised in time, I would consider it good practice for a chargeback to be attempted where the right exists and there is some prospect of success.

When a chargeback is raised, the scheme allows a given period of time - usually around a month - for the supplier to reply to say whether or not they agree to the refund. And when a
supplier does defend a chargeback; this can lead to further representations by the cardholder’s bank if it considers the supplier has raised a weak or invalid defence. If parties do not agree, the process then allows for further representations to be raised to Mastercard in a process known as arbitration.

In this case REDACTED found that there was no option for a chargeback and this is correct. Under Mastercard’s rules there is a time limit of 120 days for a claim to be raised following the delivery of the goods.

As Mr REDACTED contacted REDACTED in 2023 this was well outside the 120 days. So, no chargeback was available.

Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

Section 75 says that in certain circumstances the borrower under a credit agreement has an equal right to claim against the credit provider, if there's either a breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier of goods or services.

For Section 75 to apply, there are certain criteria that need to be satisfied for there to be a valid claim if there has been a breach of contract or misrepresentation.

For a claim to qualify the purchase of a single item has to be more than £100 and no more than £30,000. There also has to be a debtor-creditor-supplier (DCS) agreement. This means there has to be a direct agreement between Mr REDACTED (debtor), the merchant (supplier) and REDACTED (creditor). Having checked I am satisfied that the purchase qualifies so I have considered whether there is a breach of contract or misrepresentation.

In this case we are looking at a breach of contract. Mr REDACTED has explained that he feels there has been a breach of contract because the Van is not of satisfactory quality. While REDACTED has indicated that it didn’t think there was evidence as to the cause of the fault and as such, they didn’t think there was a valid claim.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA) is relevant here as it discusses the quality of goods.

CRA

The CRA is of particular relevance to this complaint. It says that under a contract to supply goods, there is an implied term that “the quality of the goods is satisfactory.”

The CRA says the quality of goods are satisfactory if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would consider satisfactory taking into account any description of the goods, the price and all the other relevant circumstances. So, that in a case involving a Van, the other relevant circumstances a court would take into account might include things like the age and mileage at the time of sale and the vehicle’s history.

The CRA says the quality of the goods includes their general state and condition and other things like their fitness for purpose, appearance and finish, freedom from minor defects, safety, and durability can be aspects of the quality of goods.

About the car

REDACTED jointly supplied Mr REDACTED with a brand-new Van. So, I think it’s fair to say that a reasonable person would expect the level of quality to be higher than a second-hand, more road-worn van. And that it could be used – free from defects – for a considerable period of time.

Is there something wrong with the Van?

Based on the evidence I have seen there is a confirmed fault with the car. I say this because we have several different sources that confirms the timing chain has snapped and the engine needs to be replaced.

Satisfactory quality

I’ve already said why there is a fault with the car. So, I’ve gone on to consider whether the goods were of satisfactory quality when they were supplied. I’ve already set out the sort of high expectations a reasonable person would have when purchasing a new car.

I think it’s reasonable to expect Mr REDACTED ’s car should have been free from the issues for a fair period following the point of supply. A reasonable person would not expect a brand-new car to have faults, and they would expect a certain level of durability.

This is the key question for this case due to the Van’s age. The complicating factor here is that Mr REDACTED has completed so many miles since purchase. Normally if a brand-new vehicle had failed so catastrophically within 20 Months, I would say that we can fairly argue the vehicle was not durable. However, Mr REDACTED completed 113,887 miles in under two years which is a considerable mileage in such a short period of time; and I would say that a vehicle that has completed over 100,000 miles can be said to have been fit for purpose at the point of sale and durable.

Mr REDACTED has pointed to a number of reasons as to why he feels the van can’t be said to be durable and that his independent assessment seems to back that up. However, on reflection I don’t think we can say REDACTED have made a mistake in saying Mr REDACTED hasn’t provided evidence of a clear breach of contract.

I say this because

A) we don’t know the reason for the failure of the timing chain. While we know it failed the actual cause of failure is unknown. I know Mr REDACTED has provided a possible reason, which is down to the size of the chain, i.e., being 7mm rather than 8mm; but that isn’t confirmed. I would note on this I did some research online and I wasn’t able to identify this issue as a well-known issue. It certainly isn’t something that Vauxhall have done a recall on.

B) It is not uncommon that a timing chain will need replacing after 100,000 miles and so the fact that it failed after 113,887 miles is no suggestion that the van wasn’t durable enough. I do accept the experts view that a timing chain can last between 150,000 to 250,000 miles, but this would occur when optimal driving conditions, servicing, driving style and manufacturing quality all align.

In this case I have considered the experts view on Mr REDACTED ’s driving style, however I don’t think this allows us to fairly say that the van wasn’t durable. I did also consider the fact that Mr REDACTED has adhered to Vauxhall’s service requirements but I don’t think this allows us to say the van wasn’t durable either.

Ultimately having considered the report and all of the evidence Mr REDACTED has provided, as well as the cost of the van, its age, the mileage and surrounding evidence and information about this model, I am unable to say there is a fair Section 75 claim here.

I am very sympathetic to Mr REDACTED ’s situation as the van’s failure has resulted in lost work, but I don’t think there is clear evidence of a breach of contract as the van was arguably durable given the mileage it completed. Ultimately under the CRA the judgment has to be what a reasonable person would consider to be satisfactory and its reasonable to say the van has been durable when you consider its use.

Customer service

I am aware that Mr REDACTED felt that REDACTED hadn’t handled the claim very well as they sent out their claim decision even though he had advised them he would be providing an independent report. Having looked through all the correspondence I don’t have any concerns. I can see Mr REDACTED was pushing for an answer which is why REDACTED sent out its answer. I accept that they could and maybe should have waited but REDACTED did consider the added information when Mr REDACTED supplied it. So, on balance I don’t think REDACTED did anything significantly wrong.

My Conclusions

Overall, I am not upholding this case for the reasons I have explained above and as such I am not asking them to do anything further. There isn’t clear evidence of a breach of contract which means there is no valid claim under Section 75.

I accept that Mr REDACTED will be disappointed by this outcome however I hope the findings are clear in explaining why I reached this conclusion.


Next steps
I think this is a fair outcome in the circumstances, for the reasons I’ve explained. If you don’t want to take things further, there’s no need to do anything and we’ll close your case on 22 March 2024.
But if you decide that you don't accept what I’ve said – and want an Ombudsman to make a final decision on your complaint – you must provide any further evidence or representations by 22 March 2024. Requests for more time must also be made by that date. If I don’t hear from you by 22 March 2024 we might not be able to look at your complaint again.

So where do I go from here, is it advisable for me to ask the Ombudsman for a final decision of my complaint? (It seems pretty clear that final decision will not be in my favour)

[Pezza54]

No point in going back to the ombudsman. The case was closed last July.
Interestingly the case investigator referred to CRA, unaware that you used the van for business purposes and therefore not regarded as a consumer under CRA
I am surprised about this. A van with very high mileage? Did the investigator ask you what you bought the van for?

The ombudsman has gone against the inspector's report which stated the chain should not have failed when it did, and was expected to last 150k to 250k miles, provided the van was regularly serviced in accordance with the van's maintenance schedule. Driving in optimum conditions covers driving in UK and Europe.

My advice is to start a court claim against the credit card company as sole defendant under CCA 74 Section 75 for breach of contract by the dealer under the Sale of Goods Act (see my post 8)
