Hope someone can help out here with some info.

My youngest daughter bought a car 9 days ago from a local Car Dealer. She chose this specific dealer as he offered her a 6 month Warranty on the vehicle.

Today the car broke down, which we have since found out from an RAC interim report that the problem is 'front o/s drive shaft, cv joint damaged and detached'.

The dealer in question has a bad reputation and he's not remotely interested in dealing with the problem. They're saying it's just wear and tear.

We have since learned that before he sold the car he sent it to 3 different garages for MOT (which sounds dodgy). The first two MOT stations failed the car on the drive shaft but the third one passed it.

She was in tears today, 17 years old and she only passed her Driving Test a month or so ago.

Obviously Trading Standards have been contacted and also the Garage with a Recorded Delivery letter giving them 14 days to rectify or refund.

Just wondered if anyone has any input on this. Surely this would be covered in the 6 month warranty on the paperwork invoice (which there were no terms & conditions for seemingly).

Thanks in advance.
