I purchased a 2003 Mitsubishi shogun, which I know is 20 years old so I was happy to accept any small issues with the car. The sales team are great and do not pressure you to buy any car. After purchasing the car I took it to a garage for a health check to see what issues I may need to fix in the near future. Unfortunately there were quite a few issues with the car that were not picked up on the MOT, which was only 1 week prior. This was when the I contacted NWA and asked them to initially fix the car. After a conversation with the after sales head of department Ali, I felt very disappointed with the service and like many other reviews Ali spoke over me and did not let me answer his questions. After considering my options I chose to return the car, as to fix the issues it would cost me more than I was happy to spend on the car. After returning the car this was when I went from disappointed to shocked. NWA did not contact me for 4 days with a refund for the car but decided to put the car back up for sale on auto trader. On the 4th day of no contact Ali then sent an email informing me he would be taking £950 from the original purchase price which covered: 260miles (70p a mile) Service + mot Valet Admin fee’s Any work carried out prior to sale As you can understand this was ludicrous to own a vehicle a week and pay £950! Also to add insult, the re-listed shogun was now on for £600 more. After a week of this all happening a lovely lady from after sales contacted me and asked me to summarise what has happened. I still could not get a full refund but decided to collect the car and do the work myself to try save on cost. In summary, this review is to make future customers aware of NWA’s refund policy and to highlight that Ali requires training on how to speak to customers. I would fully accept if I had done 3000 miles and damaged the car but this wasn’t the case and NWA placing the car on for £600 more only shows they did not care about me as a customer who still legally owned the car.

Good afternoon, Thank You for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time out to write a review. However, we are slightly confused with your feedback. You contacted us with a few issues relating to the vehicle and its previous Mot’s, we explained that we do not Mot them on site and have an independent MOT do them, its there reputation and they have no reason to jeopardise this over a few bushes, you were requested to return it for an inspection or we were happy to refund you for the vehicle less for fair usage and any damages. You returned the vehicle, and a buy back figure was provided to you, you accepted, and we started a returns process, at this stage everything was running smooth and as we all expected. As we knew the vehicle was coming back into stock, we re-advertised it, as it was initially advertised at a low price, we increased the price this time to its market value, we did not realize that this would upset you, however, removed it from sale until you were fully refunded. To our surprise, days later, you then contacted us and demanded that we cancel the agreement and that you were happy to pick the vehicle up, as we had, by then, spent monies on rectification work we didn’t want to give you the vehicle back, however, Management didn’t want any bad feedback so accepted your request and you collected the vehicle. We are truly sorry for the whole situation but would appreciate full transparency when writing reviews.

It was an awesome experience with Patrice and Page. In fact I came all the way from London to Blackburn to pick a Jaguar XF. However, the finance delayed so I could not drive the car that day. Patrice and Page dropped me off at the nearest Hotel and they kept checking up on me to find out if I’m fine.finally the next day I picked up car. They were excellent. In fact they are true human beings.

Bought a car with 12 months MOT that was carried out 2 day before purchase.when the car was looked over the day of purchase found that it had a leaking exhaust that had been sprayed to disguise it and 2 front lights not working and 1 of the tyre walls was badly cracked all around.after many phone calls it was quicky realised that the garage were not prepared to help and even said the tyre and exhaust could have been damaged on the drive home even though the previous mot shows the damaged tyre as an advisery..as a parent i have booked the car into a local garage to get the car safe and pay for the work myself..they will be reported to the relevent dvla department

Reece Adam in response to Sold a car with MOT failures

Good morning, thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry to hear of your concerns, the vehicle had a full Mot, Service and we replaced the timing belt and water pump prior too you collecting it. Your son contacted us days after purchase with a few issues and we advised him to return it for an inspection, to date we are still waiting for the vehicle to be returned. With regards to your exhaust, yes, at its valet stage, the tip was sprayed silver to make it look nice, that’s no different to us polishing the body, windows and lacquering the engine bay, they are all done to make the cars look as best as they can be, I’m sure our customers would complain if we had dirty cars on display, you also complained that there was a hole in it and water was escaping from it, we tried to explain to your son that at the manufacturing stage there is a drain hole made in the rear silencer, this allows for water and condensation to drain itself instead of being sat in the rear silencer, you can look this up on Google or ask any mechanic, we always investigate MOT advisories. Our offer of an inspection and of any rectification work required still stands and hope you take up on it as we always want to go “That Extra Mile”.
