Re: Used car three month warranty
Hi Laura,
An NRMA inspection would be wise as the dealer would acknowledge any findings more than they would from any mechanic I expect.
The bonnet problems could probably be only a maladjusted bonnet catch and re-aligning on the hinges.
Your sales contract would usually explain what is covered by law under the required 3 months used vehicle warranty.

Re: Used car three month warranty
Hi Laura,
An NRMA inspection would be the best thing for you and worth every cent.
I would approach the dealer anyway about the bonnet and see what they say, most dealers will fix something like that as a good PR exercise.
Generally warranties of this nature only cover the main working parts of the vehicle i.e. motor, brakes, transmission and running gear, fuel system but as Kev said, check your contract out and it should give you an idea of what to expect.
Good luck!

Laura, and you needed an NRMA mechanical report to tell you that? LOL Didn't you spot the missing mudflap at the time of purchasing

What type of body repairs were done? Did they tell you that? Sounds like this xtrail been through hell and wasn't taken care off with all these problems.
If the dealer failed to highlight any of the above damage, especially the body repairs, you have a case against them.
