We sold an old mini on ebay 3months ago and have recieved a letter from the buyer to say that they have had a mot done and the car failed with a list of problems. It had 5weeks mot when we sold it, sold due to needing the funds - no issue with the car.
They have already spent £700 on repairs. apparently the new list of repairs will cost £1200, they paid £800 for the car. When we listed the mini on ebay we put down the two minor problems that we knew about. They buyer bought it as a buy it now, came and test drove it & had a good look around. he paid in cash and was given a receipt stating that it was sold as seen.
In the letter he talks about the Sales of goods act 1989, which i believe isnt relevant as im a private seller. We sold the car in good faith, we hadnt had any problems with it in the 10mths we had it and didnt know of any problems with it.
Any advice please??
