    £3000 is for the warranty, the car is £12,800

    Why would you pay £3000 for an extended warranty!!!

    You really need to be more prudent when running a business and don't let people convince you to buy things that are poor value for money. Even if it did cover you it would be a complete waste of money at that price.

    It was purchased under my personal name not my business name, my profession was put on the paperwork, so what your saying is I have purchased something that I've paid £3000 for which I cannot use but yet I have no rights? Can I also note there is a 14 day cooling off period and I'm only in my 6th day. Tia

    Your profession as a driving instructor does not necessarily mean you will use the car for  business purposes.

    You could have been buying it as a family car for use by your wife and when not working, especially when you bought it in your own name rather than as a business purchase..

    (a) the OP hasn't mentioned that she even has a wife...
    (b) she said the car was bought for the purpose of her business
