I have bought a car on Sep 2008 and I have sent my documents to DVLA but, I did not receive anything. After some time on Jan 2009 I sold the car on Auto trader. The buyer has contacted me and asked me if the car has been in any accident and some more information regarding the ownership of the car. I have told them that as far as I know the car has not been in any accident and also I answer all their questions. Buyer and his father came to see the car and after a short time they find out that the car had an accident and has been hit from the back. at this time the buyer told me that the she is Ok with that because the car has been repaired and they carry out some more test (drive it around) three days later they purchased the car.
Almost a week after the purchase the buyer contacted me and asked for a full refund because her garage told her that the car has been in a serious accident and they are claiming the I have mislead them because the bodywork shop has told them that the car has been repaired recently and has not been repared correctly.
Now they are taking a legal action and I do not know if I do have any obligation after selling the car.
I am not a dealer
