Bought a car from TCR Vehicle Contracts...less than a month later the head gaskets went and upon inspection of the engine it was shown that they had been gone a while and hidden the engine was completely ruined. We're not interested tried to get the car taken back to them for repairs did nothing but mess us about and when they fineally agreed to take the car back for inspection they wanted it the next day which was impossible to arrange transport for a car that could not be driven. Avoid this dealer.

When I first viewed my purchase I was told it's V5 and MOT were at the DVLA. A phone call to the DVLA and a HPI check revealed that this was not the case, in fact it's MOT had expired one month earlier. Yet when I contacted TCR with this information a day later they insisted that it had an MOT and the V5 was still at the DVLA. When I collected my purchase it had been given a new MOT and I was told that TCR would send the V5 to the DVLA, something which they did not do, despite numerous phone calls from myself to remind them. I had to apply for a new V5 in my name by paying a £25 fee. When driving my purchase home I noticed that the clutch was slipping and it had a very dangerous fault causing the ABS to fail. These faults were not noticed during my brief test drive within an urban area. I was able to claim under the warranty for the more dangerous fault though obviously the clutch wasn't covered. I would strongly advise anyone considering purchasing a car from TCR Vehicle Contracts to reconsider!
