I put a deposit down on a car advertised as being 2008 and 60,459 miles. I requested the registration number to arrange insurance, it was not forthcoming. I had to ask three times for the information but now understood why there was a delay. The car was advertised as being registered in 2008 but it was actually registered in 2007. Giving me the registration number before payment would obviously have alerted me to the date of registration. I was finally sent an invoice for the balance which had the mileage of the car as being 70454. When I queried this I was told it was an error and was sent a new order form showing the mileage as 60,459 but the year of registration as being 2007. I decided that one year on a twelve year old car was not material and decided to proceed with the purchase. What I had not realised was that this model underwent an upgrade in 2008 and models of that heritage understandably enjoy a price premium. The car was therefore not the exceptional value I had based my buying decision upon. When the car was delivered it had a sevice schedule from an independent garage showing the mileage as 70,454. An MOT conducted 12 months ago showed the mileage as 58,442 which would mean it had only done 2000 miles in just under a year if the 60,459 was correct. I had to take the car back for repairs as it was riddled with faults. I met the MD who said there was a disclaimer on the Autocar website saying the car may not be exactly as described. It is understood that the range of accessories may vary but what is not disputable is the mileage and year of registration. There is a lot more to come.
