    Hyundai ix35 - leak in passenger foot well - 2,500 miles - registered in August 2013 - Had various courtesy cars - but disputing that I should pay for devaluation of the vehicle as the fault was there from the beginning
    The fault may have been there from the beginning, but it's not one that prevents you from using the vehicle - you've had eight months and 2500 miles (plus whatever mileage you put on the courtesy cars) of use from your purchase - so it's not reasonable to totally discount the depreciation.

    New price for ix35 well above small claims court limit. Even allowing for depreciation I think the OP would hope to get more than £10k in settlement.

    Yes, fair point. Exceeding £10k would likely put it on a different track - where legal costs are also to play for by either party.

    So yes op, proper legal advice and possible reputation may be a very good idea.
