Yaegar Motor Company - www.yaegarmotorcompany.co.uk

I went to view a car that was for sale with the company and left a deposit on the basis that an engineer inspection went through ok. I organised an inspection and it came back really quite bad, with various smaller issues (brake fluid, brake pads and very low tyres) as well as a major one suggesting the car had had a front accident on the passenger side. He showed me pictures of poor crash panel welding and that the bonnet had been removed previously (there's generally no reason for this unless the cars been in a crash).

On supply of this report to the owner of the company tried to suggest the independent engineer at first didn't know what he was talking about, and later that he was lying to me. I declined buying the car on the basis of the report and asked for my deposit back, but was ignored from this point on. He then completely ignored the safety problems my engineer had pointed out, and relisted the car as being in perfect condition back on auto trader the same day.

The owner has registered the company to Dewsbury but actually trades from his home in Bradford. A quick check on the internet shows hes set up and closed numerous companies including Niche Motor Company that is also in Bradford (which is still operating). This does beg the question why one person would need two separate car selling companies. He is also listed on the recent Panama papers for illegal offshore tax evasion (https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/nodes/12117316)

If you try to search for any information on Yaeger Motor Company before making a purchase (or "Yaegar" as the company name has been mysteriously changed on autotrader and the company website compared to "Yaeger" that that is registered with companies house) you will find virtually nothing on them. Even the company website appears to be hidden and only accessible through autotrader. This is why i've left quite a lengthy review here to help others prior to making a purchase.
