I bought a Nissan Qashqai from trade centre on HP as well as part exchange, I was told it had passed the MoT in April but did not receive the certificate. The following day I had a look and found four advisories on the MoT. I have asked to reject the car and am being told I cannot do this as these are serviceable issue (the brakes wearing thin, nearside front drag link end ball joint has slight play).

There was also something wrong with the gearbox as when I drove it wouldn't go into second dear, it's an automatic. I had the car for three days before calling them to return it, driving it less than 100 miles.

It took them two weeks to look at the car, by that time the battery was dead and needed replacing before they could even look at it. They drove it 10 miles and couldn't find a fault with the gearbox so just decided they would fix the MoT advisories as a "goodwill gesture".

Please can you let me know where I stand with this? Am I in my right to reject the car according to the Consumer Act 2015?
