Unless from a dealer second hand cars are sold as seen, no comeback.

As far as I know there isn't anything you can do. It's a case of buyer beware.

Is it a diesel, the freezing point of diesel is -9c if that rings a bell??

Otherwise the battery is going and the cold exacerbates it.

Or both perhaps ??

In relation to buying the car, you have no legal comeback. Buyer beware, since it's a private sale.

With the car problems, try posting in the motors section and people there may be able to help.

Moved to Motors.

It's a case of "caveat emptor" or "buyer beware" - goods bought second hand in a private sale unfortunately do not come with consumer rights.
