You will be the first person ever to come here and tell us that you got a rejected car collected at great distance with no cost though.

BTW:

Did you spot the advice on your link I quoted that motor traders should insert a clause in their terms of sale specifically stating that the return of the car is the responsibility of the customer?

Not really.

My OH bought a 9 year old 207 from a garage about 70 miles away last year. It turned out very similar to this one - lots of wobbling, the steering seemed to "seek" etc.

Alloys were buckled, one had been "repaired" with chemical metal. Garage tried to weasel out of it on the basis that they had MOTed it before they delivered it. We'd done less miles since MOT/purchase than they had driving it down for delivery.

We did a section 75 claim as they refused to allow us to reject. They then said they would take the car back but we had to pay £250 for collection and they wouldn't refund the card processing fee.

This was going to take ages, so we then reported the MOT tester to DVSA as we didn't think it should ever have passed.

Suddenly (as they have to notify the original tester so they can attend the retest) they were willing to refund, collect it on a loader at their cost, and even refund the credit card processing fee.

Perhaps the key here is that they delivered it, so were liable to collect it.

If the seller didn't deliver the goods then I don't believe they're liable to collect them. That's how I interpret the above quote.

Exactly, the seller is obliged to cover the return from where you collected the car. If that's their forecourt, that's where you need to take it back. If they delivered it to your driveway, they'd collect it from there.

POST REMOVED

I think it's best you seek permission from the admin team to post in your official capacity.

Can't you just remove the out-of-date article and redirect to the new one? Then you'd catch anyone trying to access the old article
