Misadvertised keyless entry

I bought a 2nd hand car from Evans halshaw hartlepool after seeing an advert on Auto Trader, in the advert it stated the car had keyless entry (an optional extra the previous owner would have had to pay for) As this was what I was after i bought the car to find it does not have keyless entry. Where do I stand with regards the advert stating it had it and the sold item not having it?

You can reject the car for a full cash refund for "not having been as described." But I don't understand why you did not discover this when you first checked out the car. If you bought it unseen, then you definitely have the right to reject it.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
