It had just over <strong>55,000 miles on the clock<\/strong> and had recently passed its MOT. But after only <strong>600 miles of driving<\/strong>, things started to go wrong. Big Motoring World reviews are not looking great recently on BBC watchdog coverage and now on The Sun. Big motoring makes very difficult to inspect used cars independently too by requesting \u00a3500 non refundable deposits which is unfair obstacle for consumers ability to check the vehicle prior purchase as mentioned in consumers right act 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/\">Book inspection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIt Started Grinding and Overheating\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew told reporters he began to feel a <strong>grinding sensation when braking<\/strong> and noticed the car was <strong>overheating<\/strong> \u2014 not exactly what you&#8217;d expect from a car freshly sold by a major dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He contacted <strong>Big Motoring World<\/strong>, who advised him to get the car checked out locally. The garage didn\u2019t take long to uncover a <strong>long list of problems<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>blocked diesel particulate filter (DPF)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>rear tyre almost at the legal limit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All <strong>four brake discs needing replacement<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial quote? Around <strong>\u00a33,500<\/strong>. And then it got worse \u2014 the garage later discovered a <strong>failing turbocharger<\/strong>, pushing the total repair bill up to <strong>\u00a34,750<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Back-and-Forth Begins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew says he contacted the dealership with the garage\u2019s report, but claims they told him to go through his <strong>warranty provider<\/strong> instead. The warranty company agreed to cover <strong>\u00a31,155<\/strong>, leaving Matthew with a bill of over <strong>\u00a33,600<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he tried to raise the issue with Big Motoring World directly, he says they <strong>ignored his emails<\/strong> for weeks, before eventually offering <strong>\u00a3406<\/strong> towards the bill \u2014 saying they could\u2019ve done the work cheaper using reconditioned parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That wasn\u2019t good enough for Matthew. He had also spent <strong>\u00a3400 hiring a car<\/strong> while his own was off the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Peaceful Protest and Legal Threats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frustrated, Matthew decided to stage a <strong>peaceful protest outside the Peterborough branch<\/strong>. But he says things took another turn when the dealership <strong>threatened him with legal action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after, they upped their offer to <strong>\u00a31,600<\/strong> \u2014 but Matthew refused, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAll I want is the garage repair paid and my hire car covered. I\u2019m not asking for damages \u2014 just what I paid out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Big Motoring World Say?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, Big Motoring World <strong>denied<\/strong> any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They claim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>tyres were legal<\/strong> at the time of sale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>brake test passed<\/strong> MOT standards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>DPF was working as it should<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>turbo fault wasn\u2019t reported to them<\/strong> before being repaired<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>They said they had <strong>offered Matthew \u00a32,780<\/strong>, covering the tyre, brake discs, and a <strong>NOX sensor<\/strong> repair \u2014 but would not pay for the turbo or any extra work the customer requested without informing them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So What Are Your Rights in This Situation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under UK law (Consumer Rights Act 2015), if a fault appears within <strong>30 days<\/strong>, buyers can reject the vehicle. If it\u2019s within <strong>six months<\/strong>, the dealer needs to prove the issue wasn\u2019t there when the car was sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the garage report states that the problems likely existed <strong>before<\/strong> the purchase, which might give Matthew a stronger position if he chooses to pursue further action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying a used car always carries some risk \u2014 but when you\u2019re dealing with a big-name dealership, you expect better support if things go wrong. Check Big Motoring World reviews too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew\u2019s experience is a reminder to <strong>get a used car inspected independently<\/strong>, <strong>check the fine print on your warranty<\/strong>, and <strong>know your consumer rights<\/strong>. While Big Motoring World might in some eyes look like popular dealership, this case shows how easily things can spiral if communication breaks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer about image: This image is AI-generated for illustrative purposes and does not represent an official image or endorsement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/sed-volkswagen-vw-vehicle-inspection\/\">Buying a used VW.<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-inspecting-a-used-vauxhall-vehicle\/\">Buying used vauxhall<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-bmw-inspection\/\">BMW<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-jaguar-inspection\/\">Jaguar<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-ford-vehicle-inspection\/\">Ford<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-volvo-car-inspection\/\">Volvo<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-range-rover-suv-inspection\/\">Range rover<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-bentley-vehicle-inspection\/\">Bentley<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-aston-martin-vehicle-inspection\/\">Aston Martin<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/the-used-porsche-vehicle-inspection\/\">Porsche<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-ferrari-vehicle-inspection\/\">Ferrari<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-lamborghini-vehicle-inspection\/\">Lamborghini<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-maserati-vehicle-inspection\/\">Maserati<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/used-hyundai-vehicle-inspections\/\">Hyunda<\/a>i,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/comprehensive-guide-to-tesla-vehicle-inspection\/\">Tesla<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/comprehensive-guide-to-a-used-honda-pre-purchase-inspection\/\">Honda<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/comprehensive-guide-to-used-pagani-pre-purchase-inspection\/\">Pagani<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A driver says he\u2019s been left out of pocket by thousands after buying a used car from Big Motoring World<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-car-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v23.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Driver Left with \u00a34,750 Repair Bill After Buying \u2018Faulty\u2019 Car<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Big Motoring World reviews not looking great.
