Going to make this as short as possible.

On 13/4/19 I bought a car for £850. 2 days later the engine light came on, I got the codes read and it shown two faults.

I’ve been in touch with the ‘trader’ I purchased it from. She’s saying she’s willing to refund me under the Consumer Rights Act however she’s deducting £50 for a logbook, £40 for a car valet and £1 per mile I’ve driven it since I bought it?

Can anyone shed any light on what my next step is.

Cheers.

It's a rejection with 30 days, you are entitled to a full refund not a partial one, take the part refund then claim for the difference
How do I claim for the difference?

What are the faults? Did they reappear after being cleared?

Or is the real issue you just don't like the car and are having a melt down over a EML in which case for everyones sake return the car take the money and get someone who knows about cars to help you find another
The faults were cleared and then they reappeared a day after which is why I have decided to reject it.
