Thanks to all advise and support on this. Just wanted to update and say that after far too much grief, the dealer gave me my money back.
He wriggled at every step so I can only presume he is a sociopath or truly believes I am being unreasonable on some level.

Anyway I didnt push for any out of pocket costs. I'm about to start the Money Claim Online process for that.

I got some ace free advice from a specialist lawyer at Stormcatcher. Recommended if you ever find yourself in a bind with a dealer!

I'll not name the dealer but unless you like a Bodge job Mazda and are in Bucks, I'd steer clear.

Thought an update might be in order here:
The reg SG61 TZZ no longer appears live so I suspect that the selling garage changed it before selling it on.

For ref the Vin on this car was Jmzbla4g601271106 if anyone fancies looking that up to get the current reg.....

Also, I still have a case open with The Motor Ombudsman who are as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

The general manager has moved on to a van dealership to provide his excellent service to the tradespeople of Northampton.

Move on with your life , sound like a garage at the stter end of the scale (I've dealt with worse) but you got a refund , fair play job jobbed

Harsh lesson in regards to buying a car a long way a way , I don't anymore unless it's something very rare .

Did you have any luck with the money claim online? That alone must have been a reasonable punt.

It's S25. Someone must have bought it and put their own plate on.
