ISTR this is the case... Quite often they don't though and will just pay out for the odd car that needs something during that time ::) ;)

Personally I don't think any Used Car Warranty (with the exception of the Network Q one) is worth the paper it's written on ::) ::)

The Network Q warranty, however, is better than a New Car Warranty because it also covers consumables :y :y

All the major manufacturers offer a warranty like network Q on used cars!

Unless it says Sold As Seen PX TO CLEAR on the invoice then you do get a warranty! 3 months iirc

Even then, it still has to be fit for purpose though, iirc  :-\

The legislation is Sale of Goods Act but I suspect dealers offer the warranties to prtoect themsleves -from the attached situations:
