Hard sell dealership

In January, I visited Hillside Motors to enquire further about an Audi A3 they had for sale. I was pressured into putting down a £300 deposit on it as they refused to let me test drive it without putting the money down, which they said they would refund if a mechanical fault was found with the car. At a later point, we found out the car had an oil leak on its most recent MOT. We were reluctant to go ahead with the purchase, and instead of refunding as agreed they would, they tried to spin my words to make it seem like I was pulling out of the agreement out of choice. I am seeking further legal advice to try and reclaim my deposit.
