Warranty and aftercare
Every cover level on this page is a sample. A real dealer replaces the table with their own terms. A warranty does not replace your statutory rights.
Cover is the extra. Your rights come first.
Every car would carry the included sample cover. Longer sample levels are compared below.
Wear and tear, servicing and accident damage are usually outside this kind of cover. Read the real policy, not this table.

Sample only. Every figure and provider is a placeholder until a real dealer completes it.

What the law already gives you.
A paid warranty sits beside these rights. It does not remove them. This is general information, not advice about your own purchase.
Satisfactory quality, as described, fit for purpose
When you buy from a trader, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 generally says the car should be of satisfactory quality, as described, and fit for purpose. This is a plain summary, not legal advice.
The short-term right to reject
In many cases you can reject a faulty car within 30 days for a refund. The clock and the exceptions are set out in the law, not in a warranty booklet.
Repair or replacement
After that short period, you may have a right to a repair or replacement, and later a right to a price reduction or a final rejection. A paid warranty sits beside those rights. It does not remove them.
