Did I forget to say it’s a PHEV, 

What, like this one https://www.discounted-new-cars.com/car-sales/ford/kuga-suv/suv-2wd-2.0-ecoblue-mhev-150ps-st-line-edition-5dr-manual-start-stop-275864

OP was feeling sad about the mileage, they're probably not going to be cheered up by that

Well maybe it'll be an incentive for them to push to reject it if they can. Nobody should be happy at getting a miserly 3.6% discount on a nearly new car when nearer 20% off for a new one is usually quite achievable.

An awful lot of assuming going on on here, given you quoted a MHEV not a PHEV and you dont know the spec of the car the O/P bought.

The general point still very much stands.

It doesnt.  At £27K its the cheapest in the country relative to the same models out there with comparable miles.

Getting anything off a nearly new car at a dealers is difficult right now, let alone £1,000, so far from miserly.

The cheapest PHEV new is £33k+ after discount - assuming theres one available, given new car waiting times right now.  So a £6K+ saving seems reasonable, given its a further 20% less than the price of a fully discounted new car,

So what is your desired outcome?

My outcome, well, knowing what I know now, ideally I would like a further money 💰 off if possible, I don’t think 🤔 return is possible, so yes further money refunded to me. I followed All of Martin’s money saving advice, bought the car on 0% credit cards and part cash from sell of my last vehicle, had it for 8 years, finale mileage 21000. I haggled. Again following Martin’s advice, I would like help with my complaint to the dealers.

The OP has paid £27k for a nearly new very high trim level car with high-powered PHEV auto drive-train.
Brand new list price for an equivalent is around £36k - £40k (the exact trim the OP has is now superseded).
Brand new broker price around £34k to £35k
However you look at that, the OP has a genuine saving against new of around 20%, plus the "first edition" likely has some additional features over-and-above the current versions.
Put like that, the OP has a great deal, irrespective of 3.5k miles or 6k miles

if it is within  30 days you can ask for a refund as the car is not as described

But good luck getting a better deal than the one she already has.  I don't see a loss.
