We recently bought a Ford C-Max from a private seller who said he was selling because he'd been made redundant, and that there was nothing wrong with the car otherwise. A test drive brought up no problems and the car seemed fine. On purchase, the car was driven on the journey home of about 15 miles. Upon nearing home a petrol smell in the car became apparent and the car started to lose power on and off when accelerating. We took the car to a Ford garage for fault-finding and they found over £1200 worth of repairs needed, including leaking injectors with possible cylinder head damage, worn shock absorbers also leaking fluid, and a badly split flexi-pipe. As the seller insisted there was nothing wrong with the car, although there clearly was, do we have any legal comeback on this?
