Hartwell Bath Citroen

Newbridge Rd, Bath BA1 2PP, UK – 01225 312774

Update on previous review: A Mr Dave Heron contacted me to resolve the issue and ordered me a new owners manual. The manual has arrived at my address as promised. Thank you for sorting this matter out efficiently and effectively. Unfortunately after a smooth purchasing process I have phoned several times to get my owners manual for the vehicle. It is 3 months since I purchased the vehicle and despite all the promises, no manual has arrived. I almost purchased the insurance plan for the vehicle at the time purchase, so glad I didn't as this appears to be another dealership full of style but no substance.

Excellent service. Professional friendly knowledgeable staff.

Bath Volkswagen

Locksbrook Rd, Bath BA1 3EU, UK – 01225 428000

Average experience. Took over an hour to be seen to after my appointment time as car (used) was not ready. Was looking at a plug-in hybrid and it barely had a mile of charge on it to test out. On the plus side, reception staff very friendly and sales guy straightforward, not too pushy, and up front in offering a good market price for my part exchange. He was also quite helpful in digging out service history since it's all online instead of in a service book. Decided not to buy here in the end as found my preferred model elsewhere, but probably worth a shot (but also check some other dealerships) if you are in the market for a used vehicle.

My wife picked up her new Polo today, great service from start to finish from Steve Faggatter, no pressure to buy, clear and knowledgeable about different options - a refreshing car buying experience for the better!

Everything you need to know when buying a secondhand car in Bath

What are you rights when your buy a used car?
The Citizen's Advice Bureau have an excellent and comprehensive section on their website. If you find something wrong after purchasing a used car It’s worth knowing that you’ll still have legal rights even if you don’t do the proper checks. If there’s something wrong with your used car you may have a legal right to a repair or some or all of your money back.

Make sure a trader is trustworthy
If you’re buying from a trader look for an established firm with links to trade associations like the Retail Motor Industry Federation or a sign that says they follow The Motor Ombudsman's code of practice look for a trader with cars inspected by an independent engineer or motoring organisations.

Buying from an auction
Auctions are the riskiest way of buying a used car as you probably won’t have the legal protection that you have buying through a trader. Ensure that you read the auction house’s T and Cs before buying a car.

Check a car’s history

Check the car’s details with the DVLA

Ask the seller for the car’s registration number
MOT test number
mileage

Use the DVLA’s free online vehicle information checker to make sure what the seller tells you matches the DVLA’s records.

Check the MOT and history
You should check that MOT tests have been done regularly throughout the car’s history. Check this on GOV.UK. This is a free service.

Get a private history check.
These will cost up to £20 – but they can be worth it! This will give you valuable information about serious problems the car might have including if:
the car has been stolen
the seller still owes money on the car
the car has been in a serious accident
the car is showing the correct mileage
the car has been written off

Inspect the car and take a test drive
You should arrange to view the car in daylight, preferably when it’s dry - it’s harder to spot damage to the car if it’s wet. It’s a good idea to meet at a private seller’s house so that if something goes wrong after you’ve bought the car, you’ll have a record of their address.

The AA has a useful checklist for what to look out for when inspecting a used car and its paperwork. Make sure you ask about the car’s service history.
