I bought a car on HP on 25/01/22 and noticed a whistling sound when accelerating
called BigMW who advised to report on 21/02/22 via their warranty app.
The following day I was contacted by the warranty company and advised to take it to a Halfords autocentre to have the fault diagnosed. I immediately booked the first available appointment for 28/02/21 at my local halfords.
I remained patient for an update and was called on 07/03/22 by the warranty company stating that there was a turbo fault, and that they would cover only the first £579 of a £1200 repair bill. I declined this and asked for the dealer to cover the cost at their expense, as the fault had been reported within the first 30 days of purchase.
BigMW has now emailed asking to arrange for the car to be driven around 30 miles away to one of their service centres for inspection.
Frankly at this point, I am inclined towards giving the car back requesting a full refund. I have not yet communicated with the finance provider.
I would be grateful for help with the matter; do I agree to take the car in for inspection?
I have been without a car and been using taxis since the car was handed into Halfords on 28/02.
Do I arrange for my own independent inspection before taking the car to BigMW?
And is my short term right to reject still valid?
Since the fault was discovered within the first 30 days.
I'd be grateful for advice on next steps in order to reject the car.
Many thanks in advance.
