Sold a car from Carcraft that has been clocked

william1974

Good afternoon, I purchased a car from carcraft on the 25/08/2009, I got it through a financal agreement, which they set up for me. Now I have recently had a HPI on the car, and it shows some major discrepancies in the mileage going up and then back down.

I still have an outstanding balance on the car and I am wondering where i stand on being sold misleading product???

thanks
Graham

You might have a problem seeing as you haven't queried it before now, can you prove that it wasn't you ? Not saying that it was !

Why would you suddenly do a HPI check on a car you've owned for nearly two years?

hi i am selling it on and the person i was selling it to checked it,

Surely you have only been mislead if Carcraft are aware the car had been clocked, do you have evidence of this?

There should be a log of the mileage on every MOT certificate in the car's life - can you trace that to show when it was clocked?

Lesson of the story, do an HPI check when buying even from a reputable dealer...

Evidence that carcraft were aware, no I dont, but as a reputable company, surely the would check all hpi's on the car they buy?

I have payed on the AA website and it clearly states when the car was clocked, this also proves that it was not me, as it was clocked before i bought the car.

Yes they would have checked hpi but wether or not they looked for mileage discrepancies is another thing, from the hpi check you had done when do the mileage discrepancies occur?

Is it safe to assume this is the same car you bought with a full service history that turned out not to have a service history and hadn't been serviced for 5 years?

the mileage discrepancies were in 2006

09-Mar-2006 Trade Association 50,243
15-Mar-2006 Trade Association 58,445
23-May-2006 Auction 56,014
24-Jan-2007 Manufacturer 61,599
yes this is the same car that was sold with service history, only to find out that there was not one!!!
