Are the general public mad

Either way, I don't really care what the buyer thinks or wants. It's just the public seem to want a new vehicle even if they can only afford a banger. I don't know how you dealers put up with them.

Sounds more like he's had a change of heart and trying to worm out of it.

I gave him all the paperwork on the day and the v5 reference number a few days before. He had a flick through the paperwork and that was it.

You've done all you needed to do, whether you were a business selling the vehicle or a consumer.

I do not know what the advisories were. I was just giving an example.

So why didn't your previous post say "for example"?

Only if the OP made those advisories known prior to the sale. (Such as presenting the MOT certificate and printout for review)

Why? This is a van ... as such it may actually have been a business sale/purchase rather than consumer one. (Vans tend to be business vehicles and so a seller may need to be absolutely clear that this is a private sale and not a business one).

I hope I have explained this clearly enough - I am prone to ramble at times.

Is he required to inform a prospective buyer of this? He can not lie or mislead but is it up yo the buyer to ask?

If it was any sort of business purchase there is even less protection for the buyer as they are not defined as a "consumer" under Sale of Goods Act.

You should have replied that the contract was just for the van and you require the return of your lemon ASAP otherwise the police will become involved.

Better yet, take the lemon round to him and insist he returns your van

Weren't the advisories on the MOT Certificate the buyer took away with the van, keys etc?

They certainly are on the one I have in front of me.

Why do you need an MOT certificate? Are you supposed to supply the new keeper with a red flag as well? You'll be wanting a tax disc next.
