My daughter bought a Fiat 500 from here part exchanged it with my Citroen for £3225. The MOT was clean “no advisories” yet within a day of having the car, having only done 29 miles in it (journey home from Rhondda!) a red warning light appeared on the dash and we had black smoke pouring from the exhaust. I took it to my local garage in Abergavenny (MOT garage) and they inspected it. They found the car to be in a dangerous condition and said it should never have passed an MOT. Amongst the faults found it had a terrible long term oil leak. The emissions test would have failed it as it had a constant black and blue fumes for more than 5 mins. Rusty worn brake pads. Corrosion on the rear axel (would be on the floor in a month) amongst a list of other smaller advisories. We had them write it officially so we could sent it to Rhondda Motor Company. Thankfully as we were still within the 30 day period of being able to return the car we were in a stronger position. I spoke to Dan who sold it to us and at first he argued. He refused a refund and said he had the right to inspect and “fix” the car first. I refused. A phone call to trading standards and a threat to report the MOT testing garage he uses which is YNYSCYNON MOT CENTRE to DVSA and the police for issuing the dodgy MOT made him change his mind. He was incredibly defensive and has a well rehearsed argument for everything however, so be prepared. Ring Catherine at Rhondda Trading Standards as she knows him well. Long story short, after a week of delaying, arguing and insisting we gag the money transferred via instant BACS transfer (and not accepting that it would take 3-4 days after returning the vehicle to refund!) We got our money back 👏🏻 We still had a month of stress. My daughter had no car and because of this we wasted our time, energy and money on the whole transaction. I have no doubts the Fiat will be back up for sale soon for some other poor person to buy. I will still be reporting the MOT fraud after seeing all the reviews here saying the same thing, so it’s clearly not a one off! . I’m sure Dan will comment below arguing his side as is his right, but I will upload my proof of purchase to back up my story so you can be assured the review is honest and true - anyone with half a brain cell would give this garage a very VERY wide berth. If you’ve bought a car recently from them get it checked independently ASAP is my advice.

Dan from Rhondda Motor Company in response to Bad Experience
To confirm we did not REFUSE the refund. We made arrangements to get the vehicle collected from you. However you wanted us to refund you the money before collecting the vehicle. And as i explained we would have to be there to do the refund. We are sorry you had a bad experience. But to clarify there was never any issue about you having your money back.
Great place to buy a car, very friendly, reasonably priced and a great service all round. Will definitely be back I can’t fault all the staff for all there hard work with me today in sorting the paperwork and helping me choose a car! Thank you once again Dan & the team!! 5 ⭐️

I recently purchased a vehicle from this dealer and was rather surprised at how easy and relaxed the whole process was. There was no pressure to buy a car i was left to walk around and browse but was offered help when i needed it. Very helpful people and a lovely experience as a whole. The car itself is lovely also and cheap too!

dodgy stock of cars. Best mates with his buddy in MOT garage so it's not a proper MOT. Car broke down shortly after purchasing. Now 3k into repairs... only worth 3.5k for the car so take your money elsewhere. Don't make my mistake. Slime ball Dan will give you all the chat but chap after care and no responsibility held.

Bought a car from here, issue with it within first 3 weeks. That was "fixed" only for it to then break 3 weeks later. Cowboy job done by mates garage, this problem then led to further issues in the car. Garage wanted nothing to do with it and have had awful service. On looking back there was a difference of 700 miles on mileage from purchase to MOT which was done on the same day?!? Please save your money and yourself and shop elsewhere. I'm now having to replace a complete engine after only purchasing end of december.
