Car rejection

[supern]

Hi, I took delivery of a 2017 Peugeot 208 and 11min into driving out of the dealership the engine management light came on so I returned it immediately. I want to reject the car but want to be 100% sure on the process

So write to the dealer or the hire purchase company, probably both to make sure, telling them that you reject the car as not of merchantable quality under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. You require your money to be returned within 14 days.

Consumer Protection (Amendment) Regulations 2014, may also be in play. If so, you would have 90 days to unwind the contract and claim damages for foreseeable loss and distress.
