Private car sale

[Plainjane91]

Hi, looking for advice.
I sold my car last week, all fine buyer transferred the money over and drove the car off. He has since contacted me to say he has discovered that the car was repaired after an accident (before I owned the car) and he wants to return it for a refund. I did not know that the car had been repaired. It’s roadworthy, with new MOT etc. Do I have to accept the car back?

Not if you did not misrepresent the car

Private sale? How long did you own the car?

I owned it for a year, bought for my daughter but then she went travelling so decided to sell it. Also bought it from a private seller.

I didn’t misrepresent it as I didn’t know, I wasn’t informed of this by the previous keeper. Looking back now I should have done my own checks before buying it.
