Standard Warranty T&Cs
Tyres
All tyres have a minimum of 3.0mm across 80% of the tyre's width. That's nearly double the legal limit which is 1.6mm. All Cars come with either a full-sized spare tyre, a temporary emergency kit or tyre sealant kit with the exemption of run fat tyres that don't need one.
Wear & Tear
All used cars show cosmetic signs of wear & tear. This means all vehicles may include minor stone chips, scratches, dents or interior marks due to age, mileage and general day-to-day use. We accept no responsibility for vehicle condition, bodywork or trim once it has driven away from our premises.
Warranty
Every retail car we sell comes with a 1-month warranty. Each vehicle undergoes a full mechanical inspection to ensure it is fit for purpose at the point of sale. It does not cover wear & tear in the normal use of a vehicle. We reserve the right to where necessary ask the vehicle to be returned to our workshop for repair.
Additional Warranty
Our 12-month extended warranty option is a mechanical and electrical breakdown policy that is designed to cover parts that are usually covered under a manufacturer's warranty. Authorisation must be given before any repair works are undertaken. £500 +VAT claim limit per claim. 15,000 miles per annum fair usage limit. Vehicle must be maintained and serviced in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. It does not cover wear & tear in the normal use of a vehicle. We reserve the right to where necessary ask the vehicle to be returned to our workshop for repair.
V5
It is the responsibility of you the customer to ensure that you receive the V5 for your new car within 6 weeks of buying your car or notify us that this has not arrived. If you part exchanged a vehicle with us then it is also your responsibility to make sure we receive a V5 for this vehicle within 1 week or buying your new vehicle.
