Anyone involved the Ombudsman over Peugeot PureTech engine failure and wet belt?

[confusedandwingingit]

Hey all!
Has anyone had to get the Ombudsman involved with the Pure Tech Engine failure?
We bought our car in Dec 2025 & the wet belt according to Peugeot Manufacturer's should have been replaced in 2024 (before we owned it) This wasnt done.
Now the car has had a massive engine failure, pcv valve has gone, leaking oil, misfiring etc etc. All tne problems associated with the Pure Tech Engine. We have only had the car 8 months, but the finance company have advised we pay £225 a Scotia Engineers Report to see & report if they believe damage had a already started to the wet belt before we had purchased the car.
Already £1000 out of pocket & not sure we will get anything back, and also face cost of repairs ourselves 😪

Can anyone advise please xxx

Go onto citizens advice website and search problems with used car. I’m having issues (not wet belt or Peugeot) but I bought my car in November. You do have rights if the problem would have been there at the point of sale. My finance company tried to get me to pay for an engineers report but I used the info from CAB and they’ve just paid for it which confirms that my problem would have been there prior to me buying it.
It tells you your options. I’d also put in an official complaint in writing to the dealer
