Private Car sale buyer wants refund

I sold my old car recently privately via an advert on SM
Listed what work I'd had done and that it was recently serviced with a new MOT
The person who bought it said it has a fault and wants the money back.
I had no idea there was an issue and they tested the car before buying it.
They've now sent me a letter saying unless I give the money back they'll take me to court.
Should I reply to letter or ignore it and see what they do.

So glad to hear this op. I had a similar thing happen to me but because I was under stress anyway and couldn't cope with more I caved and paid the buyer. I shouldn't have.
