Yes you're quite right it is mostly opinion from all of us but in my view anything that is in/on the car when it is valued, if it adds value which a tax disc does, then it should not be stripped afterwards

But that does not make me wrong, nor does it make you right.

I would argue that the road fund licence is not part of the car, nor is it needed on the car by the trading dealer, he / she will only cash it in.

Exactly, they have factored it into the deal.

Of course in my opinion

The price I paid for the car should be irrelevant. I was under the impression that when you bought from a garage it had to be roadworthy whereas a private sale was sold as seen.

As the spare wheel was underneath the car, it wasn't something I could see (or not in my case)

The garage is trying to get the part cheaply from a breakers yard but if he can't get hold of one, he won't pay full price for one from the dealers.

You seem to know a lot after the event.

Why didn't you know all this before & check the car on 1st inspection & collection ??

Sale of Goods Act still applies if it was bought from a trader. However, he may have been agent for a private seller (i.e. car on his forecourt but they don't own it but simply sell for a commission) in which case SOGA can be disapplied.

As for the spare tyre, my Lotus Elise doesn't have a spare tyre. However, it was supplied with a tyre fixing kit (tyreweld).

TBH I think you should put more effort into sorting the problem than arguing about your rights.
ie: get the part from a scrap yard, get the garage to fit it for you.

exactly,rights are all fair and well but if the seller sees you coming all guns blazing mentioning soga rights and small claims courts he will dig his heels in and make it hard for you.

Not sure that makes it ok though although agree that the path of least resistance is always the best!

it should be the first step at least,it doesnt make it right but these things happen with second hand cars.
