    Short-term right to reject

    Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you have a short term right to reject your car if it is of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described. You can get a full refund. However, you should remember that this right is short-term and is only limited to 30 days from the date you brought your car.

    The short-term right to reject a car – within the first 30 days from purchase

    If a consumer has purchased a new or used car and:

    1. Within 30 days from purchase it has developed a fault; and
    2. The fault was not present at the point of purchase
    Then a consumer can reject the car and receive a full refund. No deductions can be made. Also, a consumer does not have to accept any repairs or replacements offered by the dealership of sale

    The short-term right to reject

    9.16
    For a period of 30 days after the sale, if the vehicle fails to meet any of the requirements detailed in paragraphs 9.1- 9.11, the consumer can 'reject' it and receive a full refund. The 30 days starts when the consumer receives the vehicle and does not include any days that it is back in the garage for repairs.





    Tried not to just use random websites so used the Ombudsman, a legal site and a site that details trading standards.
