Cam’s cars

I bought a used car from this seller and unfortunately had a very disappointing and concerning experience. I was told the battery might need replacing, which I accepted — but what I wasn’t told was that the battery was dangerously faulty. Within hours of getting the car home, it began overheating and releasing smoke, which poses a serious safety risk. This is not a minor issue — it's a serious fault that made the vehicle unroadworthy, something that should have been disclosed before the sale. I also accidentally overpaid based on the agreed price and received no support or resolution when I raised this with the seller. I understand buying a used car comes with risks, especially without a warranty, but selling a car in a hazardous condition is unacceptable and, in my understanding, a breach of the Road Traffic Act 1988. I’m now in the process of contacting Trading Standards. I would strongly advise anyone considering buying a car from this seller to exercise extreme caution and ensure any vehicle is thoroughly inspected before purchase.
