I bought a car from auction recently and found it had multiple faults, including a fuel pipe taped to the engine causing fuel to be sprayed onto the engine, a potentially dangerous situation. I have asked for a full refund, but the action house has refused and simply sent me their terms and conditions, which state the car was “sold as seen”.

My credit card company is taking up my case and I want advice as to whether it is worthwhile to take them to small claims court ? The hammer price was £1400 with fees £1725 total paid.
