Sold a £500 car privately only a week ago has developed a locking fault, should I refund?
I sold a 12-year-old Volvo V40 with 121k for £500 privately in good working order as far as I was aware, with one or two minor faults which I knew about, and I pointed out to the local purchaser. Unfortunately a week later purchaser contacted me to say that he got locked out of car when he left the key in the ignition, did I realise there was a problem? I replied absolutely not, this had never happened to me in my short few months ownership?
What are my rights, should I offer a refund if they take this further, as the purchaser mentioned going to a local dealership to check out? I sold the car in good faith, and said it was going OK at the time of sale which it was.

He has no rights against you. Nothing for you to worry about.
