Worst retail experience of my life by far. Firstly, there's no Weston Road Motors registered at Companies House, it's just Michael Austin, sole trader. Michael acted in bad faith throughout, one lie after another, and sold me a dangerously unsafe car which had failed an MOT on 8 major counts 2 days before he advertised it. I have a written statement from the MOT test centre proprietor confirming that Michael Austin presented the car to him, something Austin has denied for over 2 years. He also denied it in court on 1/10/2025, where I won a settlement. He also advertised the car with just a 1-month warranty, which he said in court Trading Standards had pulled him up one. It should've been sold with a 3-month warranty. The car's brakes failed in month 3. A warranty's only any good, mind, if the person behind it actually gives you any after-sales service. Tellingly, I was given no written Ts&Cs. This car was scrap value only, but he took £1900 from me. The repairs to get through the MOT were comfortably more than the purchase price! Avoid this trader at all costs, and wherever you buy from, if you're not taking out finance, make sure you pay at least £100 on a credit card so that you have a bank on your side if things go wrong. Don't pay in full by bank transfer. It's much harder to fob off a bank than a customer. read more
