My brother went to look at a car today, a 2002 Corsa for 1k.

He liked the car. There was the odd few dinks, but nothing major and it ran fine. 12 months MOT and 6 months tax. He left a £300 deposit.

When he was home, he ran a check on it and it came up as a cat c write off. Being his first car, he doesn't really want a write off. The seller never told him it was a cat C. He is pleading ignorance to the whole thing. Has he got any legal right to keep my brothers money or is he obliged to return it?
 
Got the money back no problem. I am still on the lookout for a car for him as he rushes in too quick.

He wants a decent Corsa for a grand. Possible?
