Aftersales, Complaints & Refunds

How do I raise a fault or aftersales issue?

+

All aftersales, fault and rejection matters must be raised in writing:

Email: [email protected]

Letter: Aftersales, Cars in MK Ltd, 10 Duncombe Street, Milton Keynes, MK2 2LY

We do not deal with vehicle-related aftersales issues by telephone. This keeps a clear written record.

In your first email include:

  • A clear description of the issue
  • The vehicle registration and approximate purchase date
  • The outcome you are seeking

On first contact we will ask for your postcode and the last five digits of your driving licence for identity verification. If a third party is dealing on your behalf, provide written authorisation.

Full details are on our aftersales page.

Do I need to bring the vehicle in?

+

Where the issue involves a fault, non-conformity, repair or refund, the vehicle must be presented (driveable) at 10 Duncombe Street, Milton Keynes, MK2 2LY for inspection and diagnostic.

The customer brings the vehicle. We do not offer free collection or recovery while conformity remains unestablished.

We aim to respond within 10 business days of receiving all necessary information and, where relevant, after the vehicle has been inspected. If more time is needed we will tell you. The outcome is confirmed in writing.

How do I make a complaint?

+

Complaints relating to a vehicle purchase, warranty, aftersales or any fault must be made by email or letter only, using the aftersales contact details above. A telephone enquiry about a vehicle complaint will be redirected to email.

Please include a clear description of the complaint, when and how the problem arose, the vehicle registration, the approximate date of purchase, and the outcome you are seeking.

We will investigate promptly and fairly. We aim to respond within 10 business days of receiving all necessary information and, where relevant, after inspection. If you are not satisfied with that response, ask us to escalate by emailing [email protected]. We will explain the next steps in writing.

For non-vehicle enquiries you may also visit us in person. See the complaints procedure.

What are my rights if a vehicle is faulty?

+

Nothing in our aftersales, complaints or refund process affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If a vehicle does not conform to the contract, remedies may include:

  • a short-term right to reject within 30 days of delivery (full refund, no deduction for use);
  • after 30 days, repair or replacement (one opportunity);
  • if that fails, a final right to reject (possible deduction for use) or a price reduction.

For the first six months a fault is presumed present at sale unless we prove otherwise. Any claim is subject to identity verification and vehicle inspection at our premises. Fair wear and tear and faults disclosed before sale are not covered.

These arrangements apply to consumer purchases. If the vehicle was bought for business use, different terms may apply — please say so in your first email.

Are reservation deposits refundable?

+

A non-refundable reservation deposit is required to secure a vehicle and remove it from sale. The deposit is non-refundable except where the law requires a refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

A change of mind, a change of circumstances, or failure to complete the purchase is not a reason for a refund. If you do not inspect the vehicle, do not attend for collection, or otherwise do not proceed, the deposit will not be refunded.

Change-of-mind returns outside statutory rights are not available. See the refund policy.

What do you need before a refund is released?

+

Fault-related refund or rejection requests must be raised by email or letter to [email protected]. We will not process them by telephone.

Before any refund is released we require the full V5C logbook. A green slip is not sufficient. We may also ask for:

  • Your postcode and the last five digits of your driving licence
  • Written authorisation if a third party is acting for you
  • Vehicle registration, purchase date and invoice or order number if available
  • A clear description of the fault and any supporting evidence

Once a refund is approved it is issued to the original payment method. Requests are processed within 10 business days. Bank transfers may take a further 3–5 business days to appear. Deductions may be made for use, damage or excessive wear where the law allows.

Read the full refund policy and aftersales page.
