I'll summarise to keep this as short as possible: Bought car and collected on Monday. On Friday, thought I had a flat tyre, took to tyre garage, alloy wheel cracked in many places. Garage said cracks looked old. Also, had a weld, showing signs of previous repair. Called garage i bought car from. Salesman initially very helpful, asking me to email photo of wheel, so he could replace. Sent email saying "I am sourcing a wheel for you" Chased up later - boss refused to replace wheel (cost of £530, plus tyre at £300) I stated this wasn't acceptable. Wouldn't budge. Offered instead to collect the wheel and "repair" It has many cracks, tyre garage says repair is impossible / unsafe Also, no spare wheel (car has runflats) - so sending wheel obviously renders car un-usable. Car was sold with MOT put on car a day before I collected it. Tyre garage asked an off-duty VOSA inspector to take a look - he said it shouldn't of passed MOT and to appeal the MOT cert (he was off duty- but that is his job) I've informed the garage of my position. Basically, that I believe under the sale of goods act, the garage has a duty to replace the wheel, since repair would be impossible. What should I do? They're asking for the wheel back, but i need VOSA to inspect first to see if MOT is invalid?

I brought a second hand car from a trader on sat morning (1/9/12). I have driven about 180 miles in it yesterday (sunday 2/9/12) and noticed a noise like the exhaust is blowing. I have phoned the trader this morning about the problem and he said "..the car was MOT'd on Friday and the exhaust would have been picked up then if there was a problem then" He has given me the details of the garage where some work was done on the car before collection (including a rattle from the exhaust), which I think is the same garage that did the MOT. I am taking the car to them this afternoon so they can have a look to see what the problem is. Where do I stand here? I believe the trader should sort this out at no cost to me as lasting 1 day and 180 miles is not really a reasonable amount of time. Anybody help?
