My wife has just purchased a new Nissan Juke automatic 4-wheel drive from Charles Hurst, as her health dictates an automatic. Nissan states combined fuel consumption is 37.2 mpg and extra urban of 47.1. This we knew and accepted. With 300 miles recorded combined is recorded as max 29.6 with a long run of 185 miles giving only 31.1mpg, with two passengers running in "normal" mode. Charles Hurst advise to drive for 2000 miles and then let them have the consumption figures and they will inspect the car for any malfunction. I know the engine should give better figures after a run-in period, but by 2000 miles the car will be outside the one-month purchase return time.

My wife loves the car but if the figures do not improve significantly after 2000 miles we will not be keeping the car, but would consider changing to a Nissan 1.5 diesel Juke. What rights do we have now to return the car if it is not performing as stated under ideal conditions? What rights do we have after the 2000 mile period if the car is still under performing? What is the period of time allowed for us to have any comeback with Charles Hurst?
