Fengate Motors sold me a car recently. After hearing some very dodgy noises, I took the car to my local garage. This was within 3 weeks of purchasing, only to be told that it "looks as though it's been sat in the sea for 2 years". The underneath is badly corroded, complete with large holes! These were most certainly there during the time this vehicle passed its MOT (3 months ago). How did it pass? No idea. I contacted the MOT company who said that they do not have records dating back that far.
After looking through the MOT certicates, I found that the car had done 250 miles in 2 years!
I immediately contacted Fengate Motors, expecting a pleasant response and a positive outcome...only to be told that I had been given a £95 discount, so what more did I want? The car was £1995, I paid £200 to have it delivered.
There are many many other problems with the car, not just new brake pads and 2 new tyres required as was stated by the dealer. A full report has been sent to the dealer, along with several letters as advised by trading standards. Needless to say, I have not received a response.
Although £2000 may not be a huge amount of money, I am a single, working mother of 3 (8 year old twins and a 2 year old). Being without a car is a nightmare for me and my children and means extremely early starts every morning, 2 buses and a long walk for me after the nursery drop.
My advice.....DO NOT BUY FROM FENGATE MOTORS!!!!
