My son bought a car which was advertised for 29000 miles he paid 10k they tried boiler room pressure selling the warranty which he did not take, within 12 hrs of purchase found out the car actually had done around 35-40k miles which we informed them of followed all the rules under consumer act 2015 of rejecting the vehicle but they said it was clerical error and mileage on mot was recorded in KMs. We are still trying to get our money back and BMW refused to take car back or refund even though they broke all 3 sections under consumer rights act 2015. Misrepresentation, unfit for use and misleading advertising.

Went to the Cannock branch for a test drive. Mr. Harry was the sales advisor who attended us. He took my driving licence for photocopying in order to do a test drive. He should have returned my licence after that. But he didn’t and I asked him a couple of times whether he still has my licence; he replied yes,still didn’t return it. We left the premises soon after the test drive. I phoned the branch as soon as I realised he didn’t return the licence.but the person I spoke to couldn’t care less, Mr. Harry said he didn’t have the licence although I didn’t speak to him directly. I requested a call back from him, but never called. I rang them again twice this morning, but Harry isn’t in for the next two days; I have been told to call back on Saturday. I applied for a new licence with DVLA spending £20 as I couldn’t wait and needed to go to other showrooms for test drives. Really bad customer service, they didn’t take the matter seriously. I do not know if it’s the company’s policy to retain customers’ driving licence. It could be misused by someone. I really doubt he has misplaced my licence and wanted to cover it up

Terrible service from big motoring world and big assist. Big assist is an absolute con and I paid thousand of pounds for them to find a loophole in every way possible! Haven’t paid out on 2 faults we’ve had with our car. Difficult to get hold of and very slow at responding. Avoid at all cost

Not a good experience Took 3.25 hrs to purchase the vehicle. Like a piece of luggage on a conveyor belt, you are moved from one desk to another Desk 1, sales and test drive Desk 2, finance and payment, no movement on purchase price, apparently this is fixed also with a £300 admin fee bundled on. Desk 3 details and collection of vehicle Left sitting at each desk waiting on my own for 30 minutes to 45 minutes. Vehicle not serviced when collected and poor job on rushed valet. Low tyre pressure warning light on dashboard when collecting for test drive, advised by sales that it's just where the vehicle has been sitting about. Got the vehicle home and noticed a nail in the offside rear tyre. Contacted after sales via email, I was told to get a tyre report completed and pass on the details. Tyre report completed 6 days later at Kwik fit, all 4 tyres perished and an advisory given to replace all. Puncture to offside rear repaired and paid by myself whilst at Kwik fit £32. Sent all details including link to tyre report and invoice/receipt for puncture repair, to Lilly at Big motoring world as requested. Received an email back stating that the tyre report shows only as an advisory, so not covered in the after sales and no mention of the nail kindly received with the vehicle at no extra charge. Emailed Lilly again asking how the nail in the tyre is only an advisory and not a danger, unfortunately have had no reply. Purchased a vehicle for £27000, no full service given, poor valeting, empty tank of petrol and a free nail, which I didn't want. Definitely won't be going back to BIG MOTORING WORLD PETERBOROUGH. I forgot to add that you get a 3-month warranty with the option to take out an additional 12-month warranty at a cost of £1,895 on a 3-year-old vehicle, outrageous

Completely misled by Big Motoring World. When viewing my car, I raised concerns about the milage & was reassured by the sales advisor it had just had a major service. Shortly afterwards, whilst still on site, I was pushed to pay a £50 deposit to have the car removed from the website, the listing & service history was then unavailable to me. I wasn't then shown the service history again until the purchase was complete. It was only then that I discovered the vehicle has not had the major service I was told it had. Just a multi point inspection. They have refused to take responsibility and this is now with The Motor Ombudsman for investigation. BE AWARE - VERBAL ASSURANCES ARE LEGALLY PART OF THE SALES PROCESS. Don't let them lie to you and if they do - take it further!!

I purchased a car from this company and 36M warranty as they promised I would never have any issues n case I would need a repair. firstly, i spent 5! hours at them whule buying the car. This was because they tried to offer me stuff I told them I did not want. But their sellers were very pushy. Later on, my car had an issue and required ECM replacement. At that time I realised they did not provided me with any t&c documents withing the documentation. I apllied to the warranty 2000 and received a very weird document. However, they pais £2024 from £2600 I had to pay for a ECM replacement. In a week, the throttle body had to be replaced. £1124 requested from the official garage and the warranty company only authorised £124. this was £75 for labour and the rest for the aftermarket detail. They wanted the official garage to use it. Of course, no reputable garage would take this offer. Warranty2000 then said they would advise the other garage which they never did so i stayed without my car for a while and was literally forced to repair it for my own money. Scammers! You should know that you do not need any warranty at all! As a customer, you have 6 years for a dealer (Big motoring World) to either repair your car for free or give you your money back for a car (minus milage). Do not buy any warranty - this is a scam! And would never ever come to this dealer again

Cars at Big motoring world tend to be cheaper than some other similar dealers, the reason for this is that they get you into the showroom try to sell you the warranty which are a ridiculous price. I was asked multiple times over a 2-hour period if I was interested in an extended warranty, and alloy cover. I had no interest in these extras, but it was constantly pushed. ended up being in the showroom for 5 hours!! Eventually I purchased the car, and 2 days later the car developed a fault. I thought this would not be a problem as all their cars come with a standard 90-day warranty. I logged the fault on their app and checked the status 2 days later to find the claim had been closed. I called to find out why this was and no member of staff within the business could tell me why. I received a call 8 days later and was told that I would have to drive my car a 70-mile round trip to get the fault diagnosed. was told that there was an ongoing issue with the app. That there was a backlog which is why it took so long to get back to me. basically, every excuse. This is what big motoring work quote on their website "Worry-Free Motoring What better feeling is there to know that we have your car covered as soon as you leave our dealership" "Efficient Service We’re big on what matters to you. Therefore, we know how important it is to get your car back up and running as soon as possible." This is far from the truth, and I would advise anyone to stay well clear of this business

Purchased a 2021 SEAT Ateca in August 2025 that developed faults shortly after. While that could happen to any used car, it's Big Motoring World's disgraceful handling of the situation that warrants this review. At Sheffield branch diagnosed the issue, arranged the repair process, and explicitly promised full reimbursement when I followed their technical team's instructions to get it fixed at JCT600 SEAT Menston (Case ID: 5626). I have this promise in writing. Despite completing the repair as they directed and submitting all invoices, they've completely failed to honor their reimbursement promise. My case was marked "under review" on 09/09/2025 with zero communication since then. Multiple email reference numbers (518868, 530990, 535855) but no resolution. I'm now pursuing this through The Motor Ombudsman and considering legal action. Under Consumer Rights Act 2015, dealers must bear repair costs for faults present at sale - this isn't optional. The car itself is fine now, but BMW's business practices are appalling. They make promises they won't keep and ignore customers once they have your money. Save yourself the headache and buy elsewhere. UPDATE: Currently escalating through Motor Ombudsman as Big Motoring World refuses to respond to legitimate reimbursement requests. Email trail and case references available if anyone needs evidence of their poor practices.

This is the AI response when you search "BIG MOTORING WORLD REVIEWS" on Google! Reviews for Big Motoring World are highly negative, with customers reporting issues such as the sale of dangerous and unroadworthy vehicles, poor customer service, being pressured into purchases, and problems with refunds. There are numerous documented cases of customers finding serious, undisclosed faults with cars shortly after purchase, and complaints suggest the company's advertised "200-Point Vehicle Inspection" is often not a thorough check. The company has even been suspended from Trustpilot for offering incentives for positive reviews. Common Customer Complaints Unsafe Vehicles: Many customers report being sold cars with significant, unroadworthy faults, such as worn brakes, dangerous steering issues, and other damage that was hidden from them. Poor Customer Service: Staff have been described as having bad attitudes, being unhelpful, lying about car history, and pressuring customers into buying add-ons or making a purchase. Dishonest Practices: Some customers feel they were deceived about the true condition of the vehicle or its history, with a significant discrepancy between the company's claims and the reality. Difficulty with Returns/Refunds: There are widespread reports of customers experiencing significant difficulty in obtaining refunds or having the company take back cars with serious faults. Misleading Inspections: The promised "200-Point Vehicle Inspection" has been questioned, with claims that only a fraction of these points are actually checked. Evidence of Issues Suspension from Trustpilot: Big Motoring World was suspended from Trustpilot in August 2025 for offering monetary incentives to encourage positive reviews, a breach of their guidelines. Customer-led Complaint Groups: There are active Facebook groups where customers share their experiences and seek advice, highlighting the extent of the issues. Media Reports: YouTube videos and articles on sites like Car Dealer Reviews detail extensive negative experiences. Recommendation Based on the volume and severity of negative reviews, it is strongly advised to exercise extreme caution if considering buying a car from Big Motoring World.

They give you a free 90 days warranty. Waste of time. My Advice to Everyone, is pay a bit extra and go to dealers or a proper garage who gives you a minimum of 12 months warranty for free

I purchased an Audi three months ago, and after the sale, I encountered an ABS problem. My car has been in the garage for a month now, and no one can provide a proper answer regarding the repairs. I spent a lot of money, and I feel like I've wasted it. I highly advise against purchasing a car from Big Motoring. Their approval process takes more than five days, and they do not provide a courtesy car. Also, do not purchase their warranty.
