Changed it to what. How did you pay for the car. Did they not give you and MOT when you collected the car. Regards Peter

i bought the car on finance and i have returned it back to them and i am in the process going through a lengthy battle with them to get the finance cancelled.. i bought the car on the 29/10/10 and the garage changed the date to the 10/11/10..i did not get an mot certificate in my hand they told me it was in the car with the hand book and other documents..i thought it was a respectable dealer so i took there word for it feel bit like an idiot.

You are talking about a two week difference - so even if you are right we are presumably talking about the difference between a 7 month MOT and a 6 1/2 month MOT. This would be pushing "not as described" to its boundaries if it ever got to court.

Is there some other reason why you are trying to reject the vehicle?
