Last Wednesday, the administrators, PriceWaterhouse Coopers (PwC), wrote to MG Rover dealers confirming that they will no longer be able to meet the cost of repairs.
Previously, MG Rover had reimbursed franchised dealers for the cost of any repairs carried out for a period of up to three years after a new car was sold. However, following the analysis of their financial state, PwC has confirmed MG Rover can no longer afford to honour the commitment.
It's estimated 150,000 MG Rover owners have lost their car warranty cover - vehicles which were ranked 16th out of 28 in the annual Warranty Direct Reliability Index Survey (www.reliabilityindex.co.uk)
"MG Rover owners have been left in the lurch with their vehicle warranties. Should their vehicle develop a fault, they will no longer be able to return to their franchised dealer and expect the cost to be covered by a manufacturer warranty," said Warranty Direct managing director, Duncan McClure Fisher.
"Under the Sale of Goods Act, consumers can find some protection. Should their car need remedial work, depending on the fault and age of vehicle, they may be able to claim through the small claims court. However, the industry is already raising questions marks about the futures of many of the franchised dealers.
Vcheck” for buyers of used cars, vans and motorbikes.
“Vcheck”, matches registration number and VIN number of a vehicle by checking the DVLA information. It then checks that it’s not stolen or written off by accessing the data from Association of British Insurers (ABI) and official Police (PITO) vehicle data across the UK.
Last year 497,630 were written off (source Vcheck ABI Category 1-4 insurance write-offs) and over 350,000 were stolen (source Vcheck PITO). Figures show that every 20 minutes an unsuspecting car buyer drives off having bought a stolen vehicle.
Before you buy it, Vcheck it! Vcheck costs only £19.95!
