AVOID AVOID AVOID! I purchased a 2022 Ford Transit Custom from Motorange in July for close to £20,000 outright (not on finance). At first, the experience seemed positive: the van matched the detailed walk-around video I was sent good condition, just what I was looking for, and I was assured it had full service history. Although it was slightly more expensive than similar vans elsewhere, I chose Motorange believing that a large, reputable dealership would provide peace of mind. I could not have been more wrong. After just 3,000 miles, the front brakes failed on a slip road off the M6. I contacted Motorange immediately and was told their aftercare team would call me back, they never did. As I rely on the van for work and live over an hour away, I was forced to take it to a local garage the same day, costing me over £500 to fix something that should never have been an issue on a recently MOT’d vehicle. This prompted me to check the MOT history. Shockingly, the van had two MOTs within three months. • The first - carried out by an independent garage - recorded worn discs and pads as advisories. • The second - done by Motorange - showed no advisories at all. Clearly, the brakes were never rectified, given the condition they were in when they failed. I then checked the service history, which I was told was fully logged on Ford’s online portal. It wasn’t, nothing is recorded. For transit customs, proper documented servicing is crucial due to known wet-belt issues and Fords repair policies. Motorange have repeatedly ignored this concern. Their stance is simply: “all our vehicles are sold with full service history” despite the fact none was provided, and their claims are untrue. I emailed and called multiple times — they ignored me for three weeks. When I finally received a response, I was told brakes are “wear and tear” and that I must have worn them down to 1.5mm below the legal limit in only 3,000 miles - something that is not physically possible under normal usage. Due to the MOT discrepancies, I’ve now contacted the DVSA, who have confirmed they will be investigating. I’ve also spoken with the Consumer Rights Service regarding Motorange’s failure to uphold their obligations. Motorange have shown a complete lack of customer care, transparency, and responsibility. They are still ignoring me to this day. If you want to avoid the stress, cost and dishonesty I’ve experienced take your business elsewhere. I’m happy to provide evidence of all communication and documentation to anyone who wants to see just how poorly Motorange operate.

A follow-up to my experience from June 2025. The sales team here is very quick with promises but utterly failing on delivery. Assured that a scratched mirror and missing parcel shelf would be sorted, I collected the car with both issues untouched. I was then told the parts would be posted to me. Five months on, I am still waiting. My calls are met with deflection and empty platitudes. This is not a minor oversight; it’s a fundamental breach of trust and a failure in basic customer service. Buyers beware: get every promise in writing.

Saw the car online and went to view, was greeted by George who helped me on my journey to buying my first car. He was friendly, kind, and talkative, good at his job and did what he could to help me out, kept good contact and answered any questions i had. The car needed some repairs and a clean, the only critique was some of the requested repairs had not been done when i went to pick up the car but i was assured it was safe to drive and to bring it back to finish repairs which was done swiftly on the day. Was able to test drive the car on several occasions for a good amount of time to get a feel for the car before buying. Nick the manager was also really helpful gave us a good deal and incentive to come back to themselves. The team were nice and looked after you. Thank you very happy with my service and the car 😊
Was sold a car on finance in March 2025, phoned in April to say the car wasn’t running properly to be told “this type of car does that didn’t you know” well you know the service team is now mechanics can you believe it!!! But then again end of April more issues, again your paranoid the car does this?! Oh right my car can only drive on the motorway for less then 30 minutes that’s normal. End of June my car gives out, engine is totally broke with the head gasket, RAC said they have never seen such terrible work under the bonnet, this is not wear and tear this is someone dangerous who’s fixed something incorrectly, my wires are all taped together and this has been broke for a while according to them, but I still take to a garage and I phone motor range to speak to this disgrace of a human being in services to tell me to show her proof of text messages between me and sales man I said I hope your joking who the hell texts a sales man she said she won’t help till she sees proof I’ve contacted him, I said what on earth are you on about she thought it was funny Down the phone, again thinking she’s a mechanic went and told me maybe you broke it on purpose. Yes I broke my new 2021 plate engine. She then carried on saying I have no warranty?! Oh right so she knows best, complaint has been raised …. No response been 2 weeks, the salesman she was talking about won’t take my calls and when I phone up they say someone will call you back. I will be getting my 3 grand deposit back and I will be handing the car back this week blocking the main entrance With the keys thrown on the grass turf for them to have the disgrace of a car back. Avoid and save your money

The vehicle was serviced and had an mot completed on 17th June 2025 five days before I purchased the vehicle. Upon arrival, at Motor range Aintree today On entry I was asked by a staff member outside if I was okay. I explained no I am back here again this was my second breakdown in six weeks, to which he said 6 weeks and laughed, clearly finding the situation amusing — a completely inappropriate and unprofessional response. I explained todays breakdown issue at reception and I was once again advised at reception no courtesy vehicles were available as they would need to keep the car to have look at this due to engine malfunction message. I explained that I require a courtesy vehicle urgently due to my son’s medical condition and offered to provide medical evidence of this. While the receptionists were polite, I was told these personal circumstances would not affect the waiting list for a courtesy car. I then asked to speak to a manager and was referred to Shirley, whose conduct was disrespectful, dismissive, and entirely lacking in empathy. Rather than acknowledge the inconvenience or offer any support, Shirley was defensive and unhelpful. She informed me that courtesy cars are not a given and are a COURTESY (upon reading other reviews courtesy car availability appears to be an issue). Once pressed only later in conversation I was advised courtesy vehicles are provided if a warranty claim is in process after initially being told this was not the case. The sales representative James at point of sale assured me that a courtesy car would be made available in the event of any issues — even a sale car if needed with manager authorisation. I believe I have been mis-sold the vehicle and the associated warranty. During my conversation with Shirley, I mentioned the previous battery issue and was told I “need to understand” that these problems can occur after a vehicle has been sitting on the sales forecourt for an extended period. I find this response unacceptable. The vehicle was serviced and had an MOT completed just five days prior to my purchase, and therefore should not be experiencing such issues so soon. I raised this point directly, but received no meaningful response or acknowledgment, further demonstrating a lack of accountability and poor customer care. I advised due to the two issues within less than 2 months I wish to reject the vehicle. Shirley refused to accept the vehicle return and insisted that I must go through my finance company, and that a mechanic would need to inspect the vehicle. No explanation was given as to why Motor Range could not facilitate a return or issue documentation to confirm receipt of the vehicle now left in your possession. There is no reason as to why a return of advance could not be arranged where my deposit is refunded by Motor range via the finance company and motor range take back ownership of the vehicle. Blackhorse have also verified on a recorded call this was an option for Shirley. The warranty appears to be a complete waste of time and problems are to expected according to the service manager Shirley. The aftercare here is awful they are only interested in customer at point of sale. It appears sales staff are actively encouraged to promote Trustpilot reviews at point of sale when customers are promised the earth. As I am discovering now the promises and assurances at point of sale are hollow.
Bought a honda civic 2 years ago and only done 11k miles in it and the engine has gone spoke to this amazing company this morning after such a stressful weekend and all the woman said you have no warranty but what ever happened to customer rights act of 2015 this company just want your money
The Salesman .Gareth wolloke lied through his teeth to make the sale.promised paintwork..put Polish on scratches..promised 12 months M.O.T. with nod of approval from fella in office..I wasn't given a M.O.T certificate when I picked up car.i asked for it.this Gareth told me he never said he would do paint or mot..I never buy a car without 12 month mot.the deal relied on this..he was rude arrogant and just full of himself made up he pulled a fast one on me...this is the third car from them and last one..the car was advertised as done 58.000.it had actually don 59,320...Nathan had to defuse the situation.
My stepson (24) bought a 19 plate BMW in September 2024. He went without us (had we known we would have advised against buying from them as a couple of years prior my husband was fined from DVLA after part exing his car for one of theirs, so I know their systems are rubbish at best and chaotic) When I went with my stepson to pick the car up I noted there was not a 12 month MOT. This was resolved the same day and an MOT was issued with no advisories. The car was also not properly valeted on collection. A salesperson who was dealing with my stepson had sold him the extended warranty. The salesperson was very enthusiastic saying that it covered all major parts etc so his face dropped when I asked what it didn't cover. It doesn't cover wear and tear. At the end of January my stepson complained about a noise the car was making. He notified motor range under extended warranty (which only deals with major issues) but was told it would be April till they could see it. On the 5th February I spoke to th service department who said they would require a proforma invoice so we could get the work carried out and they would pay. On the 6th of February I sent a proforma after we paid for our mechanic to look at it. The work was quoted as the car needing a differential and it was noted it looked like a second hand one had been fitted prior. The car was not roadworthy to drive especially long distances. I had no response from the email. I called on the 7th of February the email was forwarded over the phone to the service manager who by the way is always in meetings. On the 11th of Feb I sent a follow up email as I had still not received a response or approval for the works to go ahead. On the 11th of February I received an email to say they would only cover costs up to 2k so would need to arrange collection and a courtesy car. On the 11th I received an email saying a courtesy car would not be available until April and that my stepson wouldn't be covered on insurance as under the age of 25. The cover he was sold comes with a courtesy car. On the 12th of Feb the car broke down and I was still waiting a response from motorrange so I emailed them to advise the car had broke down and was on the way back to them. On the 13th of February I had an email apologizing about me not getting through on the phones yesterday the lines were down (also common) and they wanted to know when the vehicle could be collected. I called them and they said they would get back to me with an update after confirming they had the car. In the meantime someone had knocked into the door mirror (at home not there) so asked if they could get someone to quote for a new door mirror. They said they would. On the 15th of February I received another email (first one in 2 weeks I hadn't chased) there it was still in progress and there was no update and management were not on site so a courtesy car couldn't be provided. I responded that he is under 25 as per the previous email so legally couldn't get one as per their policy anyway. On the 17th of February I received an email advising they were short staffed but this person would look into the case and the car was booked in on the 28th to be repaired. On the 18th of Feb I received an email stating that there would be no further updates but the body shop would assess the vehicle whilst on site and provide a quote for it. On the 18th I asked how long the repair would take including body shop. I followed up on the 24th and 25th and did not receive a response. I received an email 1st of March advising should have a progress report on the vehicle I responded asking for an update re the mirror and also compensation for the fact my stepson was misold a policy and has been without car for nearly a month. They responded saying they would chase body shop and would speak to someone about compensation I called today the 5th of March and was told they spoke to my stepson who was happy to receive the car back on Friday. I asked about the door mirror, this has not been seen by the body shop despite it being on site for 10 days and numerous phone calls. There has been no further mention of compensation. You would think as a gesture of goodwill they would fix it for free. They sold an unroadworthy car to begin with had it not been for paying 500 pounds we would have had a 3grand mechanical bill.

Still waiting for my £50 holding deposit to be refunded as I had to cancel viewing the vehicle. I have emailed - no response. I have called and on 2 occasions I’ve been told it’s being processed. I’ve asked for proof which has been ignored!!
