SEAT Leon SC - Dealership refusing repair and missold car - Fsm
Hi i posted before now another issue has come into the limelight.

Late13 reg seat leon 1.2 with 67k mileage and cost £6000. I got in touch with the dealership whom i bought the car from when i noticed the high engine oil consumption as i was having to top up oil ever month which got to the point it was every week and thats when the warning bells rang. The dealership told me to get the car inspected from a local garage as the dealership is 150 miles away. After the vehicle was inspected a leaking turbo was diagnosed. Went back to the dealership with the findings who then refused to help at all by arguing that i did not purchase additional warranty so its not covered. A warranty argument at this stage is red herring as consumer rights act is clear on major faults happening within 6 months.

Second issue i have come across is that i was trying to find the service history and records to see the car had been looked after and noticed the car is missing service history since 05/2017.
When i purchase the car the ad stated ‘with all Seat main agent history’. Now to clarify before taking delivery of the car i had asked the dealership via message (main method of communication) so proof available ‘also wanted to confirm the car has full service history? As it states on the advert. all
Main agent service history’. To which the dealer replied ‘Yes, that is correct’. So he has confirmed the car has full service history and had i known that i would not have bought the vehicle but i suppose i was mislead or am i wrong?


It was paid half on debit card and half on credit card. I am aware of section 75 but the issue is my brother had paid half for car with his credit as its the only car in the family so it would benefit him too. But no sure if i have a claim for 75 as i am the owner and driver.
