You could get an oil analysis done.
Not very expensive and it'd either give you leverage with the dealer, or peace of mind, depending on the results.
I've never had one done myself since my cars aren;t worth much, They are very popular with oil-obsessed Americans (where they are perhaps cheaper) but I;d think you could get one done in the UK .
You want one that reports viscosity (which they all will) and fuel dilution, the latter preferably estimated by gas chromatography rather than flash point, which is innacurate

I did a quick ..G.oogle and the cheapest test offering fuel dilution from the above place is 50 quid, not peanuts but you might be able to get that down a bit by shopping around.
You might try sniffing your dipstick for petrol smell, or...er...getting someone perhaps more experienced to do so.
Theres also a crude chromatographic oil test called the "blotter spot test" but its quite difficult to interpret.
