New and Used Car Sales

What do I need to do if I reject my new car?

Rejection of a new car can be difficult as it might mean being without a car for some time – you may also be asked to provide evidence of why you think the vehicle breaches the Consumer Rights Act 2015 if you’ve been in ownership of the vehicle for 6 months or more.

If you do wish to reject your new car, then you will need to stop using it immediately and notify the seller and/or finance company – not the manufacturer – of your intention to reject. This should be in writing and you should then allow the seller and/or finance company up to 8 weeks to investigate your complaint and issue a final response.
