    Thank you for all your help everyone. Just one last thing, what should I do with the letter from law data. Should I return to sender?

    No, keep it because it 'might' assist with your defence if you end up in Court.
  • I will do, thank you.

    No, just put it on one side, put the kettle on, and get on with the rest of your day.

    What's the worst that'll happen?
    They launch a court claim against you. It'd be for <£10k, the cost of "repair", so it's a small claim. No solicitors etc involved.
    You lodge a defence, containing the precise wording of your ad, stating that you are a private seller, and that they test-drove and inspected the car prior to purchase.
    They get their backsides handed to them on a plate by the court.
    End of.

    But please come back and update if you get any further correspondence (which seems unlikely)
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
