Missing MOT advisory
Hi, just collected approved used 2004 Jazz from the main dealer.
They 'forgot' to include the MOT advisory, or to return my call when I queried it, so I checked it online at the VOSA website.
The car will need new rear pads shortly it seems. This seems cheeky at best, and so very shortsighted.
Clearly pads are a wear item and not covered by the one year 'happiness' warranty, so would they really jeopardise my lifetime customer value for a quick £80?
It was the first time I've ever walked onto a Honda forecourt, let alone bought one! Or is it reasonable to expect an approved used vehicle from a main dealer to have an MOT advisory on brake pads?

They should have disclosed this to you.It is now illegal to fail to disclose details by omission and you have a good case to prove they deliberately concealed the fact that the rear pads needed replacing. I'd demand that they rectify the situation.
