Any rights related to structural corrosion on a recently purchased car?

Now, it's an A to B banger ('02 Ford) with 6 mth guarantee, bought in Feb '17 and NCT'd until Aug '17.

Put her in for a service mechanic says "primary structural damage" is going to fail her flat out on the renewal, so there's no point forking out for a full service. Apparently it had been sprayed over to conceal it and wouldn't have been visible unless up on the ramps.

The dealer was a SIMI member, and she already spent the first 3 weeks back with them in Feb to have the ECU replaced (kept breaking down every 3 miles).

Any recourse, or just chalk it up to bad dealership experience?

Cheers]]>
