As it,s a used car and you have no way of knowing the previous history,it could be one owner I.e. Hire company ,may not be the case ,but just saying.It would really depend on the company you purchased the vehicle from and the extent of there customer service,would certainly not be afraid to ask especially if you have previously raised the noise issue with them,citizens advise for the legal aspects .

Just wondering where you bought it from? Also did you sell or scrap it? Looking at the dates with make etc I think I may possibly of purchased this car & I'm having exactly the same problems with it just wondering whether I have any comeback on them
