Can someone explain to me have all cars got a certain warranty time after buying from trade
is that time 6 months no matter how old ? what about millage ? or value ?
has a £20'000 bmw got the same rights as a 100k mile 10 year old bmw
how are traders getting around it, id say 30 day warranty on cheap cars is fair
had a little look around cant find any decent answers

Second hand car from a dealer
When you buy a second hand car from a dealer, you have the right, under both the Consumer Rights Act (which replaces the Sale of Goods Act from 01 October 2015), to expect the car to:
be of satisfactory quality (taking into account its age and mileage)
meet any description given to you when you were buying it ( whether in the advert or in discussions prior to sale)
be fit for the purpose (for example, to get you from A to B safely)
If the second hand car does not meet these requirements, you have the right to claim against the dealer for breach of contract.
If something you buy is not 'as described', or if the seller is guilty of misrepresentation, you're entitled to:
give the second hand car back and get your money back
if you want to keep the car, ask for compensation (usually the cost of any repairs it needs)
But if you buy a second hand car that was not described as being in excellent condition or good working order and it breaks soon after you buy it, you don't have any right to reject it or to claim compensation.

The fact that you are selling a roadworthy car that subsequently breaks down soon after purchase would suggest its not "as described".
Good point I just wonder how many people would think of coming back after a couple of months for regular stuff
it might not be as bad as i was first thinking
