Independent UK guidance on premium used cars, salary-sacrifice EVs, warranty and specialist insurance.
Investigative coverage of dealer tactics, finance mis-selling, scams and consumer-protection traps in the UK premium car market. Pieces document how kerbsiders disguise trade cars as private sales, how brokers obscure APR on PCP deals, how returned-loan and write-off vehicles re-enter the trade, and how the FCA motor-finance redress scheme is being misrepresented by claims-management firms. Every story names the specific regulator pathway (FCA, FOS, ASA, Trading Standards) a reader can use to complain or escalate, and links to the exact form or guidance on gov.uk.
