Warranty Issue

WE BOUGHT a 2007 Peugeot 307HDi last year privately. Despite becoming aware it had been the subject of a write-off insurance claim after the 2007 Newcastle floods, I was satisfied it was not water-damaged and we got it at a good price. The car has done only 36,000km and would usually still be covered by the normal warranty. But a local Peugeot dealership has advised the warranty is void because of the insurance claim. Should the car develop a fault unrelated to the nature of the insurance payment, do I have any legal standing to seek to have the manufacturer take responsibility?

I doubt you have any claim against Peugeot, but you might have a claim against the people you bought it from if they sold it to you with some form of warranty, which I doubt. You got it cheap in the first place because it was in the flood. Cop it sweet.
