Resolving issues

I purchased my Vauxhall Grandland X back in September of 2025, Shane was my salesman who at first seemed happy to help and answered all the concerns I had and also valued my 2012 1.6 TDI golf at £650. To which he told me Motorplus wouldn't get much more than £1200 at auction. Yet, It can be found on their website currently for sale at £2950. Please be careful when putting your car in for PX as they will rip you off. The purchased Vauxhall was ready for collection within a week, We arranged collection at the same time as dropping off my Golf. During this time the my newly purchased Vauxhall had an outstanding safety recall regarding the timing chain, I contacted Shane at Motorplus regarding this issue and he had gotten the car booked into Evans Halshaw Vauxhall Newport. I then took my Vauxhall back to Motorplus as they arranged to drop the car off to Vauxhall for me whilst I borrow a courtesy car. Motorplus left the car with Evans Halshaw Vauxhall Newport, who completed the recall work and gave it a service. However, when Motorplus came to collect the car it's engine light had been stuck on, Vauxhall cleared the light but, it again stayed on. This had been going on for 2-3 days since I dropped the car off with no update given to me by Motorplus. I had to call Shane at Motorplus for an update, to which I was told they are currently in a dispute with Vauxhall regarding who is liable for the issue. Another couple of days pass and I yet again had to chase Shane for an update. Terrible communication from Motorplus!!! Shane advised that Vauxhall wanted to check wiring and required 2 hours worth of checks, Shane then advised me that the Problem was mine and they are no longer helping with it, also that they wanted the courtesy car back which would leave me without transport for work!!! I told Vauxhall to proceed with the work as I need the car, the engine light had been from someone disabling the adblue prior to my Purchase. A simple fix that Vauxhall sorted within a day. I can't thank Dan enough at Vauxhall for his help. Motorplus could learn a lot on how business should be conducted from Evans Halshaw Vauxhall!!!! It's illegal for a motor vehicle trader to sale a car with an outstanding safety recall. Funny thing is Motorplus had been liable for this issue by law, yet, they decide to ignore the law and continue as if it never mattered. This issue would have been found prior to my purchase of the car if they had done the recall work under there ownership, means I wouldn't of been £300 plus pounds out of pocket and having to get my finance company involved. I contact Shane at Motorplus to make a complaint regarding all of the above, I was told more than 5 times he was speaking with a manager about the issue and I would be contacted back. However, Shane and Motorplus decided to cut contact with me. No help, no apologies and no call back. I gave Motorplus multiple chances to rectify the issue but, they decide to cut all contact and ignore the issue. I was also told by Shane that he was unaware that it is illegal to sale a car with an outstanding safety recall, how can a car salesman not know the law for the industry he's employed in. Goes to show you what sort of car dealership Motorplus is, I also suggest you offer staff training regarding commutation and legality. It would have saved you a lot of trouble. Based on all of this information and how disgustingly Motorplus handled this issue. I decided to seek legal advice and take action with my finance company who had been Admiral. I contacted Admiral regarding the issues I highlighted all failings from Motorplus and provided all of the proof required to back my complaint. It took a little over a month for Admiral to investigate this complaint due to Motorplus not cooperating with Admiral's investigations. I can't thank Admiral enough because they found Motorplus to be at fault. Which is an outcome I had been expecting.

Avoid at all costs — utterly shambolic experience I bought a 2020 car with 29,000 miles from this dealership. Within 20 miles of leaving, the engine lost power, a warning light appeared, and it went into limp mode. I called the dealership straight away — they told me to “get it sorted through the warranty.” I took the car to Eden Vauxhall, where diagnostics revealed a severe engine fault. Their team warned me that driving it any further could cause irreversible damage, requiring a full engine replacement. I phoned the dealership again. They said I should return the car but refused to cover transport costs. I asked if they’d take responsibility if the car broke down en route — they said, “if it breaks down, it’s on you.” I asked them to collect the car. They refused, saying “the customer has to return it.” They wouldn’t reimburse a transporter either, so I paid out of pocket to get it back to them. Three days passed with no contact. When I chased for an update, they said “it’s with accounts.” No follow-up, no explanation. Two weeks later, I got an email asking me to return “documents,” with no clarification. I assumed they meant the service log and V5. On day 21, I finally got a call saying they’d refund the car price — but not the cost of the warranty i also bought. They told me I had to chase the warranty company, despite the fact that I'd paid both car and warranty costs directly to them (Motorplus). It then took four more days while they supposedly “checked with a boss.” Eventually, they agreed to refund the full amount and asked for my bank details, promising the money by the end of the day. Three days later — still nothing. I chased again, and was told the payment had been returned by the bank. What action did they take when they received it back? Nothing. Only after my call did they reprocess it, and it landed in my account an hour later. The fault wasn’t “new” — Eden Vauxhall said Motor Plus would have known about the fault and flagged before the sale. I followed advice from Citizens Advice and the Consumer Rights Act, but the dealership took liberties at every turn. Without question, the worst customer service I’ve experienced in all my years. Stay well away.

Bought a 2017 Peugeot 208 Black Edition from Motorplus South Wales via Oodle Car Finance. The car drives like new. It's been 2 months and I still haven't received the V5C logbook and no assurances from Motorplus that it's actually been sent off to the DVLA. On the day of the car handover, Motorplus said I should receive the V5C within 14 days., therefore I've reduced this review rating from 5 stars to 1. Very dodgy! I had to pay £25 to get a new log book. I'm extremely unhappy and do not recommend Motorplus to anyone. I have reported Motorplus to Trading Standards. Motorplus and Oodle Car Finance agreed to share the cost of £150 for the car delivery to my home address. I paid £150 in cash to Mo, the Motorplus car salesman after successful delivery. I even dropped him off 5 miles away at Victoria Station. Little did I know, they were going to fob me off for weeks on end. I expected a cheque within a week for £75. Then it became 2 weeks, then 3 weeks, until I got very frustrated and submitted a 1-star review on Google, finally they sent me £75 straight to my bank account. Whereas, the car finance reimbursed me the next working day after the car delivery. I definitely won't make use of their 'free MOT for life' offer. There's no way in hell I will get reimbursed even if I left them 5 star reviews everywhere.

I bought a car off of Motorplus South Walsa and had it for a week before it started to break down on me. They had it back and so say fixed it and if anything it's made it worse and now I've been car less for 5 weeks and they have been fobbing me off from the start. Yesterday I had an independent car inspection carried out by the car finance company and they've confirmed what I've told them for months the car was not fit for purpose when they sold it to me. Stay away do not buy from Motorplus.

I did have to replace the brakes and tyres almost as soon as I bought the car but in fairness as I was away from home I didn't contact Motorplus to resolve the problem so I won't be holding that against them at all, although I would have perhaps appreciated them checking over the car before the sale as they would surely have picked up on these issues. Overall I am happy with the car, it gets me from A to B and the dealership during the sale were good.
