Bought a dodgy car...

For future reference buy a car thats in date for its NCT.

I know theres a lot of cars out there that dont have an NCT but they should, its a legal requirement.

Your faith in the NCT is so cute!!

In general, if you are buying a car for private use from a dealer, you are fully protected by consumer laws, which also give you the right to take legal action if your rights are not upheld.
But the same consumer rights do not exist when you are buying a car privately, as the seller is not acting in the course of a business. So you need to be more careful and well informed before buying a car in this way.

Similarly, if you are buying a car/jeep/van for your trade, business or profession, you may not be covered by consumer law.

Sellers' responsibilities
It is an offence under both road traffic legislation and the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act to sell a car to a consumer which is not roadworthy.

If the car is not raod worthy you could argue he should not of sold it, with the warning bulbs being removed he cant really claim he was no9t aware of the issues
