Car Dealers in Milton Keynes

Choosing a car dealer in Milton Keynes

Check whether a dealer is a member of a recognised trade body such as the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) or the Independent Motor Dealers Association, and look for the Motor Ombudsman logo, which shows the business follows an approved Chartered Trading Standards Institute code of practice. Franchised dealers represent specific manufacturers and offer brand warranties, while independent dealers often carry a wider mix of makes. Read recent reviews for comments on transparency over pricing, vehicle history and any faults disclosed before sale.

Finance, warranties and your rights

Any dealer arranging car finance must be authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and you can verify this on the FCA register. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, a used car bought from a trader must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, which gives you the right to reject a faulty vehicle within the first 30 days. Ask for a written breakdown of the price, confirm what any warranty covers, and consider an independent HPI or history check before you commit.
