I purchased a second hand car from an independent trader on the 11/09/16 at around 12:15pm . The car however had a cut fuel pipe which was not brought to my attention at the time of purchase by the trader. I noticed the fault when I fuelled the car on the 11/09/16 around 12:30pm and the majority of the fuel split out from underneath the car. I phoned the trader to explain what had happened, to which he asked me to return the car and explained I may have fuelled the car incorrectly. After accompanying me to a different petrol station the trader attempted to fuel the car and the same problem occurred. The trader offered to repair the vehicle under the three month warranty and told me to leave the vehicle there. After seeking some legal advice, it was brought to my attention that I was able to get a refund as it is a breach of the consumers right act and the car was not roadworthy. I phoned the trader who agreed to give me a refund but shortly phoned back later and said he would only refund part of the monies (£3755). The trader then accused me of vandalising the car and sent me a picture of a cut pipe which doesn’t show any evidence it is even from the car. After making a complaint and contacting Trading standards, they advised me to use an ADR scheme, and if that fails to take the matter to a small claims court. If the ADR scheme is not successful, I would like to know whether I stand a good chance in court of receiving my refund.
