Fun fact: Car warranties are all bollocks.
Regardless of what a dealer says they must sell you a car that is fit for purpose for a reasonable period. 3 months is not a reasonable period for an £8,000 car. 6 months is borderline I’d say.
A classic Ferrari dealer I know lost a court case and had to replace a clutch after 8 months and 3,000 miles. That’s a wear item. His argument was that the owner could have abused it. The judge disagreed.
Hefty

Indeed, and also quite hard to value - so difficult to tell if that price is fair.
The seller does offer a warranty, albeit a brief one as stock it can be extended, which depending on the service history might be a key part of a negotiation.
