Saw a vehicle for sale seller stated private sale 4 previous owners full service history ran superbly. Facts the seller was a dealer who sold me the car from his home and the vehicle had 9 previous owners within a week gearbox went and on inspection the faults were too many to list bottom line was my garage said vehicle not fit to be on the road. When I checked the V5 to contact the seller it turned out the seller had bought the vehicle in October 2016 but never registered the purchase so when I thought he had owned it since 2014 which I saw as a positive sign. Going to pursue this person myself after trying to get help from Autotrader who were not interested they wouldnt give me his details or phone number hiding behind data protection even though all this information was on the advert. All they are interested in is protecting dodgy sellers who lie on the adverts and Autotrader condone this practise because they are making money.
