I appreciate your help and advice, although I don’t actually feel very welcomed by you. Thanks for responding in the first place, but it appears I may have caught you on a bad day.

I'm sorry if I might sound wrong here, but there is absolutely no point in the vehicle going in for an independent MOT now that the faults have all been rectified. I hope that with all of the photos, videos and reports that I have plenty of evidence to make a claim. I simply want to find out if I can claim against the seller at his work premises. I have compiled my Court bundle and would like to move forward.

Thank you for coming back to me. I haven't been able to jump on this sooner as the issues have been significant and have taken time to get to the bottom of. I have taken this up with the seller back in October and then December. With regards to your questions the vehicle is a Mitsubishi L200 2010 and I paid £4700. This is a second car and I cannot justify having a newer truck sat on my drive as well as my car. I'm afraid I'm a little concerned about listing the person's details on here for all to see, but happy to message them if the details are required. The seller is based in Lytham St Annes and runs a garage there as well as being the MOT tester who passed the vehicle. The Garage is called NWH Auto Engineers/MPH Remapping & DPF Centre. The seller sold it as a private sale, not through the garage, hence me asking about home address. I have since gone through all of his facebook and found him to have sold 138 cars over the last year. As the vehicle was going through repairs, everything was listed, photographed and videos taken where required. The garage carrying out the work completed a full inspection for me and they are also an MOT Centre. If you require any further information then please do let me know.

Sadly he appears to be a sole trader. I've searched his name for Directorships.

Thank you in advance for stopping, reading and hopefully advising on my post. Back in September I purchased a newer vehicle which I use when I go overlanding/Camping/Hiking. It was a fair distance away and I called the seller, who at the time didn't explain he was a trader, but he did have his own garage/MOT station. He was very helpful, answering all my questions and showing me around the vehicle via video. After lots of questions I decided to buy the vehicle. Since September there have been a few issues, with some most serious issues coming to light in December, mainly that someone had covered over the ABS, Traction Control and Airbag warning lights behind the dash with PTFE tape. None of the safety systems were operating! The person who sold the vehicle was also the person who actually MOT'd the vehicle, yes, the actual tester. I've spent just under 3k having a new steering rack, rear brake lines, ABS system repairs and new seatbelt due to the airbag issue and I'd like to claim at least some of this cost back. My main question is this. I only have the sellers work address of his garage. He doesn't appear on the voters roll and neither does his wife. Can I make a claim against him at his work address? What advice would you give if this isn't the case?

Some years ago I was convicted of an offence and received a hefty fine. I arranged to pay weekly and have never missed a payment. I’ve received a letter today to attend court for my outstanding debt to be reviewed. I’m moving house on that day and really cannot re arrange. Could someone advise on the following please; is this normal procedure for the Court or would I have done something wrong? can I complete the form and send it in, but not attend in person? I would have called the court to obtain answers , but it’s the weekend. Posted on here as it’s now a huge worry. I know I haven’t missed a payment. thank you in advance.

Thanks Tony P, I’ve had my book stamped too, but my point is, were you told it would re set your mileage?

Thanks for your feedback. It was most definitely the instrument cluster that was changed, and not the issue. It’s apparently a fairly common fault.

Hello all. I own an immaculate Kia. It’s 2014 with only 29k on the clock, full service history and not a blemish inside or out. I’m really quiet proud of this, even though to some, my car is old. Recently the instrument cluster failed and all detail went blank. Spoke to the dealers who looked at it and said it would need to be replaced under warranty. I took the car in last week for this repair. Not once did anyone give me any warning that my mileage would be lost! My now low mileage car is only showing 13 miles on the clock and apparently the original mileage was non transferable. I called the dealership and also made a call to Kia UK. The dealership haven’t even apologised for what’s happened, but told Kia UK that they didn’t know this would happen! I’m so upset! Everything I’ve done to look after my car to try and keep its value appears to have been undone. A very trusted dealer has said it will de value the car and that it’s the same as no one wanting a car that’s been in an accident, but repaired to highest standards. Everyone wants originality. I just need some advice? I could let this go and then find I can’t sell the car when the time comes and it will be too late. Am I over reacting? Is there anything I can do?
