Mileage Discrepancy

[jharar]

I’ve just bought a Golf r Mk7.5 from Charles Hurst dealership..
All the finance papers been signed car should be delivered sometime next week date is not confirmed yet as the car Mot is expired, Dealer is waiting for the new Mot..

I’ve just found the Hoi report dealer sent shows marker on Finance and Mileage which means there is finance outstanding on the car also ther is a marker on mileage..

I never noticed it when the dealer sent the HPI report..

Can I call the deal off as the car isn’t delivered yet but I’ve signed all the finance papers..

I don’t know where you stand legally perhaps others do. First thoughts are: -
Were any issues about the car declared to you before now?
Do you still want the car or do you want to walk away?
Have you queried why you were not told?
Do you have a deposit paid? If so is it refundable?
Does a ‘cooling off’ period apply?
Is there a service history available which might give you a mileage record.
Cars on dealer forecourts often show outstanding finance which is cleared just before sale.
Have you checked the car on car check / car vertical/ rac or one of the many others to see if you can get more info on it?   The cost would be worth it if you’re still interested in the car.
I have bought cars from Charles Hurst in the past. They are now owned by Lookers. They were fine to deal with. About a year ago my wife had agreed a deal with them in principle, no money had changed hands, she changed her mind and pulled out. There was no drama with them. Confront your concerns and talk to them sooner rather than later. Best of luck.

@Ceefeesh - all good and valid questions.

@jharar - it’d certainly be worth working through the points raised by @Ceefeesh. If after doing that you’re not happy with your findings, then Charles Hurst offer a 14 day money back guarantee on used cars within 14 days of taking delivery - see details at link to the relevant section of their website below;

Yeah as Ceefeesh said, Unit Stocking Finance is part of how dealers finance cars in their stock, and this always shows as outstanding before purchasing. Should be cleared before transfer of ownership to the buyer, but you can always get the dealer to confirm this in writing if it's a worry. Car Vertical etc should say if this is the type of finance that's outstanding.

Never buy a car from Charles Hurst, all of them heaps.

Don't know how many I've inspected for people looking at a car from them and all of them I said don't buy.
