I Bought A Car With 'No Keys' FROM BRADFORD! It Didn't End Well!!

Brave or foolish? I bought a Mini Paceman from Bradford which didn't have any keys. Our seller had inherited it from an uncle who had passed away and apparently they couldn't find the keys but did have the logbook. I knew I could source a key relatively inexpensively and thought however this ended up, it would make some good content for you all!

Mate had the same thing with a truck. Luton. Needless to say what the sellers name was, I’m sure you can guess. Anyway, it was so rotten underneath, including the back axle, it Leaked all the oil out from the back differential. Was within the 30 Day period. Abdul Mohammed refused to refund him until I pointed out that it had failed its mot with loads of problems, yet the one he had put on it had no advisory’s whatsoever. Called him out on his fake mots and he refunded. That was a 10k truck.

[@loc4725]

​@@davezeraschi7936Courts are underfunded at the moment and it's getting worse as they're not a government spending priority. Expect 12 - 18 months to get before a judge and hope the dealer pays up. Also if you paid with CC or finance, even a partial payment of just £1 then you can claim the full amount back from them and it becomes their problem.

[@JustAnotherThisDJ]

​@@davezeraschi7936 it can take months but as long as the dealer would not repair or acted unreasonably then you have a number of statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which u can enforce through the CC. Use the moneyclaim online system its quicker, and ask for summary judgment if the trader does not respond to the summons or submits a groundless defence. good luck. Edit dont forget to ask for costs of the claim and any advice you paid for, and interest at the statutory rate of 8%

Unsuspecting buyer? The buyer was a twat and shouldn't be buying second hand cars if he can't perform due diligence. The buyer was also greedy, expecting to pay well under market value then expecting a good example of the car.

Hats off to you for admitting every red flag in the book was there! Of course Its easy in hindsight! Been there done that as has anyone in the motor trade! The worst part of that car isn't the engine, you can bolt another one in, its the rat crap. That's the smell in the interior and the damaged seats cause. The wiring loom will be hell to sort out, loads of stuff wont work, (hence fuse box lid off) and frankly the things a bio hazard to anyone working on it.

On your passenger kick panel JBE/FUSE Box with no power to it. Try to see if it's possibly set in "Transport Mode" which can be set to activate or deactivate the Transport Mode by using a BMW / Mini software specific OBDII diagnostics scanner. There also may have to active the power or check the 15A/20A fuse on Terminal 15 Relief Relay (Electronics Junction Box, Digital Motor Electronics (DME) Control Unit). Good luck!

@@DashDriver-z1r I don't think it's possible to be only 25 ish k on the same oil, which is what it apparently is according to the history. It's probably on an 18k service interval... The time won't help, but that looks more like well above that amount - what ford says is correct, people clock every year before the test (or get the tester to write incorrect mileages)

I worked in Taxi insurance in 2016. At the time there was (and probably still is!) a crisis in Bradford where all their taxi drivers seemed to keep crashing in to each other. So much so, we couldn’t insure most for less than £6k a year, and that was a driver with clean history. Our broker decided to stop quoting them all together as they were deemed too high a risk. Have always been wary of cars from Bradford since that lol

[@Mariazellerbahn]

The reason for the gungy oil is using the wrong oil. Oil specs are given for a reason. I do my own oil change because 3rd party garages use any old crap and charge you top money.

[@richardsutton01]

It's actually down to not changing the oil rather than using the wrong grade.

[@mikemarks906]

These are my thoughts too, although missing an oil service is not a good thing I have never seen that sort of crud on a low mileage engine even if it was poorly maintained. Must have had cheap oil or something added to it.

[@richardsutton01]

@@mikemarks906 I would also agree that a modern car could drive 55k miles without an oil change and still not show that level of oil degradation, particularly if a synthetic oil had been used, which leads me to agree with others that the 55k miles is not genuine. The recommended oil change period on my diesel is 25k miles and it could certainly do double that without any significant degradation.

I used to work at a ford dealer during the late 80's, a ford escort mark iv diesel came in for engine issues under warranty. however the owner was a sales rep and hadn't got it serviced after the free 1,500 mile check up. when the mechanic took the sump off whilst car on the ramp he showed me the contents and scooped it out with his hand. I can only describe it as thick black Swarfega ! it had done about 30,000 miles without a service. needless to say customer wasn't happy that Ford rejected the warranty claim for a new engine

[@bobmazzi7435]

About 40 years ago I helped put an engine in a Chevy P/U that had gone about 40 k miles without an oil change. V8 gas. Probably a 350 or 305. Dealer pulled the valve covers, saw the sludge and said "nope". This was in the US. And the oils then were not as good as they are today.
