Vehicles are deemed road worthy with a valid MOT certificate as

the fact or allegation of issues will need to be inspected by us. Any
advisory matters are treated by VOSA as discretionary and
accordingly within the MOT examiners jurisdiction to determine

purchase of our vehicle. This means that if there is a problem
with the vehicle which we sell to you, and part of your purchase
was funded by a part exchange, you agree that you are not
entitled to the return of your physical part exchange vehicle.

the part exchange vehicle which was agreed at the point of sale
subject to our discretion.

you for a defect).
We don’t compensate you for all losses caused by us or our vehicle.
We’re responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this
contract unless the loss is:
Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing
you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should
have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).

taken the steps set out in the section, we are not responsible for
delays outside our control.

reasonable action.

resolution is an optional process where an independent body considers
the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to
court. All disputes should be referred to mediation prior to proceedings
and/ or court proceedings should be deferred until mediation takes place.
You can go to court. These terms are governed by English law and
wherever you live you can bring claims against us in the English courts. If
you live in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, you must issue your
claim in the English courts.
Other important terms apply to our contract.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is
between you and the person signing the terms and conditions. If you have
borrowed the money from a family member or friend to fund the purchase,
then that has no bearing on us. Our contract is with the person who signs
these terms and conditions only and no third party will have any rights.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 does cover your purchase. The vehicle
must be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. All vehicles are subject
to an independent 150-point check, and we retain evidence that the
vehicle is of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. The Consumer Rights
Act 2015 requires the age, price, fair wear, and tear of second-hand
goods to be taken into consideration when determining any problems
which may arise. Please remember that you are buying a used item.
We are also not required to pay for the continued maintenance of your
vehicle after sale, we are only responsible for pre-existing faults unless
disclosed to you prior to sale. You do not have a 30 day right to a refund
in circumstances were a defect develops after sale; You have caused
damage by error or omission; You have commissioned any third party to
inspect or repair the vehicle without our consent; You refuse our first right
to inspect and repair your vehicle; If you refuse to arrange transport at
your own cost; If you continue to use the vehicle with a defect once this
has been identified which will exacerbate the damage to the vehicle.
The Consumer Rights Act exempts motor vehicles from not making
deductions on refunds for use or diminution in value.
If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still
apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are
unlawful, then that term will be deemed to be struck out and the rest of
the contract will continue to apply.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it
later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like
paying) or for doing something you’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t
mean we can’t do it later. Normal limitation period will apply.
