Avoid at all costs

REGISTRATION NUMBER DF13 AGV I would give this dealership minus stars if I could. Seem to be issuing dodgy MOT certificates for not fit for purpose cars. We purchased a car from them in January 2020 and after having it for a couple of months noticed it was using a lot of oil. Asked the local garage to check for an oil leak and there’s nothing whatsoever but the car is burning through the oil outputting blue smoke from the exhaust. So we looked into the MOT history further and the car failed it’s MOT on exhaust emissions in December 2019 and then passed a day later with 1 extra mile on the clock. I then asked the local MOT station to do an emissions test on the car and these are the results: Fast idle test CO Limit <= 0.2% Actual result 1.07% Fail Lambda Limit 0.97 - 1.03 Actual result 0.97 Fail Second Fast idle test CO Limit <= 0.2% Actual result 1.11% Fail Lambda Limit 0.97 - 1.03 Actual result 0.97 Fail Even when Arnold Clark were presented with an independent inspection report and the evidence above they just wanted to settle the remaining finance and not return any of the money paid in the last 11 months. Luckily the finance company didn’t allow them to do that. Avoid at all costs.
