Sorry to hear. You should be able to reclaim your tax back.

Thanks lads. I know it's not a 22B or anything but it was a great little bus. It had a 1.3 engine so it was plenty well able to cope with the AWD given that it was only a light car anyway.
Just goes to show though......when I bought it, the engine (only 26k miles) was serviced, it just had the timing belt done, there were new brake pads and discs all round. There is hardly a scratch/dent on the body, and the interior is like new.
Unfortunately, the underneath was a different story, and there was signs of filler in there like someone had discovered this prior to me and patched things up.
When I bought it, I did get to look underneath it, and it looked fine to me. I probably should have had my own steel bar with me to poke around.
As I said, it was only a runaround, but it would make me very wary about buying any car privately without getting an AA like check done on it.
I remember the 3 year old avensis we got in from the north of England a few years ago was fairly covered in rust underneath as well, but I never thought an Irish car would be like that.
Anyway, ya live and learn.
