Having bought our Sei on the 3rd June and it having passed its MOT only the day before and taking into consideration with problems with the brakes the Department of Transport MOT Inspector checked it today and FAILED it[V]. Luckily they cannot void an MOT certificate once its been issued and will advise in writing what needs doing to put it right.
They cant take any action against the garage who passed it onyl 3 weeks ago as we've put more than 30 miles on it since then (thats from travelling to the garage that sold us the car to replace the cracked rear tyres) but confirmed in its current condition it failed on:
- Front brake pads and disks unequal
- Rear brakes (they actually stuck during the test and they're
trying to release them as I type)
- Front suspension bushes
- Front brake calipers
Having sought advice from Trading Standards I have advised the garage that sold me the car that I will put my complaint in writing with the bill for the work to be carried out and should he not reply to my satisfaction in 14 days I will take him to the small claims court! Well my calm yet firm tone paid off a little cos he wants to know what needs doing and he will sort out a repair...what he doesn't know is that there is no way on this earth one of his mates/garages are touching my car and I will offer him 3 quotes for him to chose from!!
Does this sound fair?
