Sold a car

Context: what was the sale price of the car? As long as you described the car truthfully and did not mislead him about it's condition, then it's caveat emptor. As a private seller you are not even obliged to point out any known faults-it's up to the buyer to ask.
The fact that he does not even detail the alleged faults, but expects a full refund, shows that he is a scammer.
Trading Standards have no jurisdiction, as this was a private sale.

Caveat Emptor. People seem to try this scam on a regular basis. Buy a car, drive it for a month then demand a refund. Bingo a months free motoring.

Block their number.

Where did you dream that up??
The scam is trying to get some money towards "repairs". Not a months free motoring having to change insurance details every month and pay the admin fees etc

Indeed. Or bother swapping the V5 over and taxing it. Criminals do criminal things.

Op I hope you swapped the V5 online and didn't rely on the buyer doing it.
