A woman who bought her car from online retailer Cazoo has been left with a \u00a31,000 repair bill after the company went into administration. <\/p>\n

Ellie Rylands, 28, who bought her \u00a310,000 Peugeot from the used car retailer, found an engine fault after a few months of purchasing it. <\/p>\n

Ms Rylands, from Cardigan, Ceredigion, has now been told her warranty is not valid after the company fell into administration last week after cutting hundreds of jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Administrators Teneo said Cazoo was now unable to process any claims made as part of the initial giveaway warranty period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the end of February, Ms Rylands bought her car after moving to a rural area and needing it to get to work. <\/p>\n

She decided to pay monthly to upgrade her standard warranty from Cazoo to an extended one with The Warranty Group. <\/p>\n

She said: “I live in a pretty isolated area and work on a vegetable farm so a car is essential for me. <\/p>\n

“I heard really good reviews online for Cazoo and thought it was a reputable company.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At start of May, Ms Rylands noticed an engine fault light and took the car to the garage.<\/p>\n

“I paid \u00a3250 for a diagnostics test. It turned out a diesel piston had gone and if it wasn’t fixed it would damage the car further,” she said. <\/p>\n

“I was told not to drive it any further. The garage told me that these faults would have first occurred before I bought it.”<\/p>\n

As she was still in the 90-day period for her warranty, she said she reported the fault to Cazoo but was told “the only thing I could do was to apply to be a creditor and I could get some money back”.<\/p>\n

She added: “I suspect I\u2019ll be at the back of queue and it may reach a point where there’s no money left for people like me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ellie said she paid over \u00a31,000 for repairs to her car <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Ms Rylands contacted The Warranty Group, now part of Assurant, but her extended warranty does not cover the repairs as the fault happened before it kicked in.<\/p>\n

She said the experience had left her feeling frustrated and in an awkward position. <\/p>\n

After having to rely on her partner’s car, she forked out more than \u00a31,000 for the repair work and is not sure if she’ll get the money back. <\/p>\n

“I trusted Cazoo to sell me something that would work, or at least be very honest about things that needed fixing.<\/p>\n

“My partner and I are looking to buy a house in the area but now I have to use the money for the repairs. It’s such a frustrating issue.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
