Basically, the goods have to be fit for purpose, with reasonable allowance made for age, price (within the expected range), and apparent condition. You have an absolute right to reject within 30 days, then the supplier has the right to repair or replace. Within the first six months, the presumption is that a fault was present at the time of sale, unless it can be shown otherwise. Then the burden of proof changes over. If the supplier wants to deny anything, then you have to take them to court, which can be long-winded and expensive, with no guarantee of success. If the claim is over a rejection, then you have to put the car outside of your use (physically return it) THEN take them to court for the refund.
And that's it. There's no requirement for them to offer you any kind of guarantee or warranty.
