It's the government sponsored guidance to car dealers on how to comply with the Consumer Rights Act etc. (cf. pp 8&9 esp.)

If you bought the car on finance, this publication from the Financial Ombudsman is useful:

www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/files/2914/79.pdf

It makes clear that when finance is involved, the seller is the finance company, not the supplying dealer, and it is the finance company which is liable.

If the dealer refuses to accept the rejection, it could get very expensive.

And the courts may well say that a minor trim issue is not enough to justify rejection.

Egan v Motor Services (Bath) comes to mind. But I realise that was before the 2015 act.

From p.10 of the guidance to which I linked above:

"You cannot refuse to deal with a customer’s complaint about a fault or defect simply on the basis that the:• Warranty/guarantee has expired, or;• Type of fault is specifically excluded from the coverage"

Sounds like a poor dealer that's all. Speak with the dealer principal courteously and I'm sure you'll have this sorted in a hour or so. They are minor faults, I wouldn't condemn the car on the basis of a bit of loose trim and I most certainly wouldn't trade it in right now, you'll lose a fortune! Also there's no guarantee whatever you replace it with will be fault free either.

Firstly, items classed as wear and tear are covered for 6500 miles or 6 months.

Chrome trim coming away has been a known issue on Superb mk iii and is usually fixed with no arguments under warranty. Its a manufacturing fault and so eligible for the full 3 year cover

"After six months or 6,500 miles, wear and tear and mechanical adjustment items will not be accepted for warranty repairs unless a manufacturing defect can be identified by a member of the ŠKODA Authorised Network as the cause."
