OK, got an update.

Desperate to know what was going on, I wrote to the old owner using the address on the logbook and he phoned me back today. I was a bit confused by his explanation but the gist of it was that it seems there has been some admin !!!! up somewhere along the line & the dealerships payment to settle the finance ended up being a bit short by a few hundred quid. He said he had been on to them to sort it as he had indeed received a missed payment letter off PSA.

Anyway, it sounded promising so I just stumped up a tenner for a basic HPI check and the car is now showing all clear.

Safe to say it's been a headache for the past few weeks & i'll never be driving a car off a forecourt again without confirmation of settlement!

There you go. An honourable dealer after all. The motor trade has a poor reputation to start with, pleased this one didn't add to it

As I thought. Glad you got it sorted
