Hello im new to the forum can anyone advise me how i stand regarding a second hand ex hire van ive bought 2 weeks ago.

The company is a well known hire van service and after 3 years they dispose of the ex hire vans I was after a newish van so took to buying a 2008 ford Transit 85.T260 van with 90000 miles on the clock.
The company put it through its MOT so i got a 12 months ticket included in the cost of £4,500

it ran well when i took it for a test drive but now 2 weeks later problems have started.

1 i got a puncture when i looked at the spare wheel it was down to the canvas and wire it was illegal and fit for scrap only yet the MOT never noted an advise on the tyre.

2 its started to cut out when cold and run uneven i took it for a service today and asked for the engine to be made to run properly, im told it needs a new fuel pump and sender unit.

what are my rights can anyone advise me please.

Thank you.
Bill,
