Avoid This Dealership – My Worst Car Buying Experience
Motor Ring

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel other buyers deserve to know about my experience with Motor Ring Limited.
In August 2025, I purchased a 2017 Nissan Qashqai Tekna Petrol from this dealership. Before agreeing to buy the vehicle, I specifically raised concerns about the fact that it had already covered over 71,000 miles. I asked the sales representatives, Mark about the condition of the engine and whether there were any major mechanical issues I should be aware of.
I also specifically asked about the timing belt, as I was concerned about potential replacement costs. I was assured that the vehicle had a timing chain, not a timing belt, and that there was nothing to worry about because it would not require replacement. Those assurances gave me confidence to proceed with the purchase.
I also wanted to have the vehicle independently inspected before completing the purchase. However, I was discouraged from doing so and was told that their own workshop had thoroughly inspected the vehicle and that there was no need for an independent inspection. Looking back, relying on those assurances was a decision I deeply regret.
After driving the vehicle only 1,416 miles, the engine suffered a catastrophic failure. I was forced to spend thousands of pounds replacing the cylinder head, intake valves, exhaust valves, timing chain kit, head gasket, spark plugs, engine oil and filter, together with substantial labour costs.
The independent garage that repaired my vehicle advised that this level of engine damage could not reasonably have developed within only 1,416 miles and that, in their professional opinion, the defects would have existed or been developing long before I purchased the vehicle.
Had I been informed of the true condition of the vehicle, or had I been allowed to obtain an independent inspection before purchase, I would never have bought this car.
What has been even more disappointing is the after-sales service. After I submitted a formal complaint, Mark emailed me confirming that my complaint had been passed to one of the Directors and that I would receive a call the following week. Despite waiting and sending further correspondence, I have received no meaningful response.
Buying a family car is a major financial commitment. People spend their hard-earned money trusting that a dealer will be honest about a vehicle's condition and sell a car that is of satisfactory quality. My experience has resulted in significant financial loss, stress, inconvenience and a complete loss of confidence in this dealership.
Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Motor Ring Limited. My advice to anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from them is to insist on a completely independent mechanical inspection before buying, obtain every assurance in writing, and do not rely solely on verbal statements about a vehicle's condition.
