⚠️WARNING:WalterMotor Dishonest Practice

⚠️ WARNING: This Dealership Engaged in Dishonest and Potentially Fraudulent Practices I am writing this review to warn others about my serious experience of dishonesty and financial deception at the hands of this dealership and a salesperson named Damon. What I encountered goes beyond bad service — it borders on fraud and mis-selling of a financial asset. 🚨 Key Facts: 1. Undisclosed Commercial Use – TFL Private Hire Vehicle (PCO): I purchased a Mercedes E200 which, unbeknownst to me, had a long history as a TFL-licensed private hire vehicle. This crucial fact was intentionally concealed in the advert, sales process, and documentation. I only discovered the truth after purchase by checking MOT history and finding a TFL license document tucked inside the logbook — which proves they were fully aware and chose to hide it. This is a deliberate omission of material information and a violation of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations. 2. Misrepresentation of Vehicle Condition: I raised concerns about an engine knocking sound during the viewing. Damon brushed it off as “normal,” even though any competent technician would know it wasn’t. Days after collecting the car, the alternator failed, costing me £600. A few weeks later, I discovered a blown head gasket — an expensive engine failure that makes the car unsafe and unusable. These issues clearly existed before the sale and were either ignored or covered up. 3. Suspected Odometer Abuse / Misuse of Vehicle Before Sale: Over 130 miles were added to the car between my viewing and the MOT — with no logical explanation. They blamed test drives and “preparation,” but that’s implausible and deeply suspicious. It raises serious concerns about the misuse or misrepresentation of vehicle usage. 4. Financial Misconduct – Mis-Sold Under Finance Agreement: This vehicle was sold to me under a finance agreement without disclosing its commercial hire history or faults. This is a breach of due diligence, and I will be submitting full evidence to the Financial Ombudsman and my finance provider (Santander). Selling a financially-backed asset under false pretenses is a serious financial offence. If you've experienced something similar — report it. Do not stay silent. This is how dishonest dealers keep getting away with it.
