    You may be technically in the right about the glass and fuel economy being defects, but you'd have a near impossible time proving that to a judge without spending a fortune in expert reports, on a car you no longer have. So you're best at this stage just taking the loss and moving on. I honestly don't think it's worth the time and hassle trying to fight it any further.
    Yes, I agree at the moment unless something comes up which helps me. No need to waste more time on it.

    December to now has been a near £4,000 (£3,000 loss in value, £1,000 for payments) extra loss to me on top of the monthly instalments I've paid, for which of course I used the car. March to May it's an extra loss of £2,000 decrease in value.

    I'd never buy a petrol MG again (the electric MG4 has good reviews) and never from the same dealer.

    To be honest buying a new car and selling it so quickly those figures really don't seem that bad. I understand the frustration though.
