Is this “minor”? Can I reject this car under CRA?
I purchased a 63 plate Mercedes estate vehicle in mid-April from a local dealer. Under 100k on the clock. Full service history provided. Purchasing experience was positive. Paid just over £6k for it.
Receipt says we have a 3 months warranty that covers engine and gearbox.
We now have a CEL on the dash. AA came out and said it is not drivable. They gave us this report.
I contacted the dealer last week who was on holiday. He is back now and reached out to me saying that the fault codes look like it’s something minor and I should get it fixed by a local garage.
My questions:
- Does this
really
look like a minor fix?
Under the CRA, my understanding is that within 6 months of purchase, the dealer has a chance to make the vehicle good. Therefore, the dealer has to fix this? (Regardless of any warranty stated on an invoice). How do we approach this? I don’t want to be a Karen stating “I know my rights” but also… I do know my rights and don’t want to get ripped off 🤣
Thanks for any help! I’m totally not a car person so I’m a bit naive to all this.
