Prestigio Cars Ltd Reviews 

AVOID PRESTIGO CARS LTD – A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE

I deeply regret ever buying my Ford Transit Custom from Prestigo Cars Ltd. This has been one of the worst vehicle purchases I’ve ever made. From the very start, it was clear that Prestigo deliberately hid the full service history. On top of that, the van had multiple failed MOTs that were conveniently ignored or covered up at the point of sale. This is outright deceit.

Since taking ownership, the van has been plagued with constant mechanical failures and problems, turning what should be a working vehicle into a relentless money pit. Every week seems to bring a new issue. I’ve spent far more time and money fixing their “sold as reliable” van than actually using it.

Prestigo Cars Ltd is clearly more interested in making a quick sale than providing honest vehicles. Their lack of transparency and blatant dishonesty has caused nothing but stress, financial loss, and frustration. I wouldn’t trust them to sell a bicycle, let alone a van.

If you value your money, time, and sanity, STAY WELL AWAY from this dealer. This has been an absolute nightmare, and I want to warn anyone considering them: do not make the same mistake I did.

Brilliant service, happy with the product and service.

I buy my van from prestigio cars very happy

Did these guys were fantastic? I’ve been missed out a lot in the past. I found a car test drove it and sorted out the finance within an hour. Can’t fault them highly recommended.

If you are in the market for trying to, "off" someone... I can highly recommend this dealer.

If on the other hand... you are paying above market rate for the safe knowledge that you are going to be comprehensively looked after... walk away.

About 18 months ago my wife bought a car from this firm. It was quite a surprise in many senses. The car in question was a Dacia Sandero. Well. Tehcnically I think it was several Dacia Sandero's... but we'll get to that in a minute.

Just looking at the vehicle my alarm bells were ringing. But I couldn't quite put my finger on as to why. They delivered it from Luton over to The South Coast.. which was great. And I really enjoyed the car at first. It had a kind of extra sporty feeling when you chucked it into a curve. I didn't know why until I finally convinced my wife to take it to our tame mechanic for a look over... but it turned out that this sporty feeling was actually because there was no grip on the tyres whatsoever. All four of them were worn down smooth with cord showing through.

It was a deathtrap alright. But my mechanic only had worse news to deliver. The front bumper was a replacement that they hadn't even bothered to spray correctly. All in all... my mechanic found about 46 defects... most of them really quite hazardous to health.

I am therefore not all that sure HOW exactly it came with a fresh MOT as my mechanic said there was no way it should have been issued one. As far as he could make out... the car had been in quite a heavy front end impact at some stage. And what they couldn't pull straight they just cut out and put another part from a different car in. I thought we were beyond the Era of Cut and Shut cars. Apparently not.

When I called up the dealer to bring up these issues... he became very angry with me and refused to talk to me. I was particularly interested in how it had a fresh MOT. He asked me if I was accusing him of anything. I said yes. And that was the end of that.

I was so absolutely gobsmacked at how many defects this one vehicle had... that I felt I had no choice but to report the issue to DVLA. I note with interest that he is still trading.

This is probably good news if you are looking to kill an elderly relative whom you expect to inherit money from. Not so great if you are after a nice, reliable little run around for work and general daily life.

I went so far as to ask Auto Trader as to why he had so many awards. Apparently this isn't something they could comment on as they are automatically applied after a number of good reviews. I'm not suggesting that this would be a number of bogus reviews... but if our experience is representative of him at his worst... just do not take the risk.

This is a man who is perfectly happy to sell you a death trap with a big smile on his face and an eye on your wallet. Simple as.

Fortunately we bought the car on finance. And after submitting our mechanics review of the additional life shortening features that had been added to the vehicle - we exercised our right to refuse the car. The finance company agreed. They were utterly appalled.

I don't know how much he pays the poor sod who has to drive these vehicles to customers. But if he is indeed still with us... I would suggest it is not enough considering the risks involved.

We all know used car salesmen do not often have the best of reputations. A cheeky Arthur Daley type is a tolerance at best.

Someone who quite knowingly tries to sell what was basically a load of scrap bolted and welded together... is a very dangerous man even if he has the best intentions of putting food on the table for his family. He is quite happy to continue doing so even if he has blood on his hands.

You have been warned. Please for the Love of God... if you do buy from this dealer - get the vehicle checked out by somebody competent as soon as you can afterwards.

Perhaps our experience was a one off. Although the way he angrily hung up on me and refused to talk to me any further... as it was my wife who had bought the car... might suggest that he full well knows what he is doing and what he is trying to get away with.

DVLA couldn't tell me what measures they took after I emailed them with my mechanics report and photographs. It is their policy. One can only hope that it caused them to turn over a new leaf. But then again... leopards rarely change spots.

If Prestigio wish to refute any of this. I still have my mechanics report, photographs and of course my email dialogue with DVLA.

Absolutely shocking behaviour from a grown man. Especially the hissy fit about a very legitimate question as to how the car got through an MOT. Unless maybe he changed the tyres for his, "Racing Slicks" after the event. Could be all sorts of reasons. Although I tend to stick with Occam's Razor on this one. The simplest explanation tends to be the truth.

I really, really cannot urge you enough to exercise extreme caution.

Every helpful advisers

Very good service easy process highly recommended

Prestigious cars ltd are a great company to buy form. Made everything so simple

Prestigio cars were very good, safe delivery and would recommend them to anyone moving forward

I purchased a car for my daughter from Prestigio Cars Ltd yesterday. Given that the vehicle is 11 years old, I fully expected a few age‑related issues. What I did not expect was the level of dishonesty displayed by the initial salesman and mechanic.

From the moment I began inspecting the car, the salesman dismissed every concern I raised with flimsy excuses and, at times, outright lies. One clear issue was the cracked rear third brake light, which had already begun letting water into the vehicle. I observed the mechanic removing the unit to inspect it, yet the salesman repeatedly tried to pull me away, insisting the water ingress was simply due to their cleaning process — a claim that was obviously untrue.
Initially, the mechanic appeared professional and allowed me to watch him work. However, once he resealed the cracked light, I mentioned that the part would need replacing soon and that I would expect a price adjustment. He then showed me an online listing for a £10 unit, claiming it was brand new. It was clearly a second‑hand part. When I challenged him to show me the search results, he awkwardly backed down, claiming he had “lost the search history.”

I then checked the touchscreen stereo and found it completely unresponsive. When I raised this with the salesman, he attempted to convince me that the system wasn’t touchscreen at all — despite the on‑screen prompts that could only be selected by touch. At that point, I had lost all trust in both him and the mechanic and called them out for their dishonesty. I refused to deal with either of them any further.

The manager then stepped in, inspected the stereo himself, and immediately confirmed that I was correct. My experience with him was excellent — professional, honest, and straightforward and a pleasure to deal with and would recommend him. I made sure to tell him that had I not been present, my daughter would have been misled by his staff. Their behaviour was unacceptable and undermined what could have been a smooth and positive purchase.

Excellent customer service, friendly and explained everything we wanted to know! Ziggy was particularly helpful and we walked away with a new car!

Amazing service very good

Such lovely people, as a young first time buyer I could feel the kindness radiating when I came in. Ziggy was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicle. Can’t thank him enough would definitely recommend!!! (The chocolate was an added bonus!!)

The team was very helpful and I had a seamless process getting my new car. Highly recommended!

Was very helpful and quick to deal with the paperwork. Would recommend it to anyone
