Golden rule is to give the seller a chance to fix the issue, you skipped this step and got a third party involved

You claim will be a difficult one. rejection within 30 days is an option that you also missed, after 30 days things get tricky when you buy a used care.

Age and mileage come into play as far as normal wear and tear is concerened.

Like already said it's cheap to go to the small claims court but this could go either way.

The seller called today and has said he’ll pay the money. It was almost as if the previous two conversations had never happened; he spoke as if the plan all along was to pay out. 

Unexpected as he was hell-bent on having nothing to do with the car 3 days ago. Relieved nonetheless.

Fingers crossed for you that the seller does come up with the money. There have been several threads on here where sellers or tradesmen have reneged on their promises of reimbursement.
