The answer to whether you have to accept a damaged and repaired „new“ car might be differing from country to country.
For Germany the situation is clear:
If the damage has occurred in the factory and has been repaired at the factory, it would still be considered a new car and the customer has to accept it (this is NOT the case in the Idalia incident).
BUT: If the car has experienced a damage on the way from the factory to the customer, the contract can be easily canceled and the customer does not have to accept the car (as is the case in the Idalia incident).
I don’t know about the situation in Belgium, GB or other European countries.
