Taken back where? By you? By the dealer?

I interpreted it that the dealer bought the car back from the OP, at £4000 less than the OP paid for it.

Hi all that communicated on this subject, thought I would close it down with what finally has happened.
Since may when it all started the garage has done everything to not admit liability dragging on for over three months during which time I have had to pay my monthly payments. Apart from the money problem the stress this has caused is unbelievable, so in the end a compromise has been reached where the vehicle has been brought back at a loss to me of about £4000. My wife and I settled with this offer to put an end to the matter.
Now you ask like I did at the beginning does the "30 Rejection of a vehicle work" the answer is simple NO as the buyer just hasn't the time and money like the showroom to hold out and wait to be treated fairly.
   
Are we happy? YES, that it's all over, it's been an experience I wouldn't want anyone to have.

No owing to the loss and the fact the truth hasn't come out and been dealt with correctly.

Thanks to those who bothered to read this and a big thank you to those who added their thoughts.

Clock stops in the 30 day window when you raise the issue.
They can't just drop everything to fix a car. So you have to join the Q like everyone else.🤷‍♀️

How have you lost £4K?

You may be right, but that's not what they said.

bought - past tense of to buy
brought - past tense of to bring

Some people must find "bring and buy" sales very confusing.

This is a good illustration of what's achievable in theory and in practice.

A car dealer typically has hundreds of thousands of capital behind it, and is a limited company; and can afford to lose a case such as this legally and payout.

For the average private individual or family, a car is typically the 2nd largest purchase they'll ever make, and they don't have the excess capital to stop using a newly-purchased car and commence a possibly lengthy legal battle. Firstly, they would still need a car. And secondly, if they did have the capital, they would have probably bought a better car.
