Used car has covered 10k more miles than advertised - what should I do?

I have brought a used Audi TT from a main dealer. It was listed on the dealer website as having done 4600 miles, but when it was delivered it had actually done 13,600 miles. I bought the car as a distance sale and obviously I wouldn’t have bought it if this was the real mileage, but the dealer isn’t interested. What can I do?

That is too much of a difference to be acceptable. If you can prove that the car was advertised with 4600 miles, you can demand they undo the deal.
