I am writing to formally reject the vehicle purchased from you on 12th January 2026, registration number LM21 DKD under my statutory rights contained in the Consumer Rights Act 2015.The vehicle is not of satisfactory quality, not fit for purpose, and was not roadworthy at the time of sale. The vehicle suffers from multiple serious defects, including but not limited to the following:• A serious gearbox fault causing the vehicle to enter emergency (limp) mode• Failure of the gearbox mechatronics unit, which requires immediate replacement• A fault with the stop/start system• A tyre that is not roadworthy• Brake pads that are excessively wornThese defects are confirmed in a written report and video from a VW Technician at a Main dealer which I hold as evidence.Volkswagen Warranty has confirmed that the gearbox fault was present prior to sale and that you were aware of this fault before supplying the vehicle to me. VW Warranty have refused to pay for the repairs, as you were aware of the problems before the sale. Taken together, these issues demonstrate that the vehicle was sold in breach of contract and in breach of your obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.I am therefore exercising my short-term right to reject the vehicle within 30 days. I require a full refund of the purchase price of £21,874, with no deductions, as required by law.In addition to the refund of the purchase price, I require reimbursement of reasonable and foreseeable consequential losses incurred as a direct result of your breach of contract, including:• The cost of petrol incurred in reliance on the vehicle being roadworthy £62.18These additional costs represent reasonable and foreseeable consequential losses arising directly from your breach of contract, particularly given your prior knowledge of the defects.Total amount claimed: £21,874 + £62.18 = £21,936.18You will need to arrange collection of the vehicle. The vehicle is at VW High Wycombe. Please contact Wendy to arrange collection.It is outrageous that you sold a dangerous vehicle to a heavily pregnant woman, putting our lives at risk as well as my daughter who was in this car when the fault first happened. I have included a timeline below should this need to be referred back to in future.RegardsOlivia TownsendTimeline10/01/2026.

Take to High Wycombe. 3 problems 1st mecatronic 2nd starter 3rd tyre sent a report to the customer. Not a warranty issue the selling company should have now about 2 of the faults and the cust has been trying to contact Lucy and no one is returning ther cals.. the cust is heavily pregnant and this is thee last thing she needs. Cust is thinking of rejecting the vehicle and really would like too talk with you. The problem with the mecatronics was on the system in Nov 2025 meaning that you would have know this at point of sales.

Hi,I took it to the Battersea dealership.

Hello Jordan,I received a call from Rachael Green at 16:55 hrs today advising that I would need to pay £180 for a diagnostic check. I am concerned by this, as the proposed checks (removal of the door card or inspection around the offside driver’s dashboard) were already carried out by Citygate (Watford) during the initial repair in November 2024 for the same rattling noise.That repair, covered under the extended warranty, did not resolve the issue, and additionally resulted in a Torx screw being left in the centre console - an issue I raised with both VW UK and Citygate (Watford) back in November 2024 and again 2025, when the car went in for it's annual service.Following this, VW UK arranged for the vehicle to be inspected and repaired again, as the rattling noise is still present. Given that this booking was pre-arranged with VW UK for an unresolved warranty issue, I do not understand why I am now being asked to pay for diagnostics.I look forward to your clarification.Most disappointed,Dixon Xavier“Fear can hold you prisoner.
