This just occurred to me whilst reading the "Cash or Finance" thread in General Discussion.
If your MINI has enough faults to warrant rejection, and you paid partially or fully by credit card (debit cards don't count) then you have extra protection under the CCA.
The card company will be jointly liable for the defective car so you can easily get you money back.
It's unlikely to apply to many people so I won't expand further. However, if you're thinking of buying a MINI and are concerned about possible serious faults, why not use your card, at least for the deposit?
When your dealer gets a "chargeback" from the card issuer, they'll certainly start to take any problems seriously.
