No - new cars have some sort of manufacturer warranty of variable duration. The 6 months applies to all cars sold thru the 'trade' SFAIK, although it is not reasonable to expect a 10 year old car to be as reliable or fault free as a 4 year old. I found the link but didn't read it - isn't it clear on the applicability of the law?

As with most law it's not entirely clear (to me anyway)
"So if you buy a cheap car on trade terms you cannot reject it under the Act. And if you buy a cheap car (under £2,000) on retail terms from a trader, you cannot reasonably expect it to be perfect"
Not entirely sure how this applies in my daughter's case. I assume from the above she has no recourse as, so far, it seems a relatively minor, if inconvenient, fault of the type which I might assume to exist on a car of this age.

It has to be fit for purpose and as it keeps going into limp mode it is clearly not fit for purpose.
