I bought my ex partner car with a debit card who’s the legal owner me or her

Using the words “ I bought my ex partner a car”  implies it was a gift which would make her the owner. 

Alternatively, it could have been a loan from you to her in which case she is still the owner, but she owes you some money for it.

Both of which are speculation because no one can give a useful opinion on the extremely limited information that you have shared so far.

Sorry I didn’t explain it probably I borrowed the money from my mum paid it on her car but she says I am due nothing and I still owe my mum £16k

If you purchased the car then it is yours unless you gifted it to her. Do you have the sales receipt? If your ex id the registered keeper it does not make her the owner.

Is this your wife that you were divorcing? If it was 16 K it’s probably something that needs to go into the shared marital asset pot anyway.

Whos name is on the invoice?

Who paid for it is generally irrelevant as to who the owner is which is generally the contracting party.

If it's not the wife, then you need to cool your beans on the gifts for new ladies!!

Borrowing 16k from mum to buy your partner a car doesn't sound a great idea with hindsight.

the registered keeper is not necessarily the owner. ie on the V5 it says This document is not proof of ownership.
