Who did you buy it from and how much did you pay? If a private buy, you cannot reject it unless you can prove it is unroadworthy. If bought from a dealer and if you paid £2,000 or more, you probably have a good case in the small claims track of the county court, but that is no guarantee that you will get your money back, especially if the 'dealer' was an itinerant.
