Well not quite. I haven't replied to the last text message I was sent. 
I have received a message on eBay from the buyer basically listing the issues they have found with the vehicle since purchasing.
They are demanding a full refund, plus £1000 already spent on the vehicle for roadside repairs/work already carried out by their mechanic. No mention of giving the vehicle back. 

I am planning on replying with something along the lines of, reiterating the points I have already made, stating signed as sold as seen and that I will have no further communication with them.

Don’t even bother replying, it will simply encourage them. They are clearly a chancer. If you can block them on eBay, do so.

Don't reply and don't contact him again.

Don't let him bully you into feeling guilty or giving him any money back.

Just ignore him unless he issues County Court proceedings and that is extremely unlikely.

If you get a solicitors letter or a Letter Before Action (that is also unlikely) then post again for advice. 

Otherwise just forget about him and his horse box.

I was going to post a reply saying that they are going to keep demanding money from you until you have ended up paying them to take your horse box away.  But it seems they have beaten me to it!

The OP comes on here for advice about a big tale of woe. They have done nothing wrong and the advice is “Do not reply, respond or communicate with the buyer”.
And proceeds to ignore the advice, not once but twice.

Why bother !!

What exactly is the law on selling a vehicle that does not have genuine mileage.  The fact that the OP did not actually do the clocking surely does not change the fact that the mileage is not genuine.   If  the buyer can prove that the mileage is not genuine, never mind not as advertised, then that buyer might have a good case.

do you still have the tear off section of the v5 ? yje green part 

if you go to dvla https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history and enter the long number on the green section BUT MISS OFF THE FIRST NUMBER , it should come back and reviel all mot s dating back to 2005/6 , you can then see if there has been a typo or if new clock fitted , wjat i cannot see on this post is the actual age of the van

It's not illegal.

What is illegal is knowingly mis-representing it - or anything else.

And, in a private sale, that's going to have to be proven for the courts to be interested.
