I have owned this car for one day and now the engine management light is on. Car stopped pulling in second and went into limp mode abs the radiator fan came on at high speed. Anyone got any idea of what the issue might be.

I had the same and despite various fault codes showing other symptoms ,turned out to be the High Pressure Fuel Pump (after I had spent a fortune on everything from timing chain,coil packs etc etc).
The pump will very likely fail before 100k so in any event replacing that is a no brainer - and if everything is then ok you’re a winner!

In a bit of predicament there. I purchased the car on my way up to work. (I work offshore) in Aberdeen. I’m going offshore tomorrow for 2 weeks so the car is sat in a car park. Luckily I know someone who lives in Aberdeen who will collect the car key and I can arrange recovery under the warranty. There is only one year where there is no record of service in 2019. Dealer said they had serviced the car and MOT had no advisories. Luckily I had purchased a warranty on the car which covers repairs up to £1200.
Thanks for that
Car has only done 58000.

Often warranties don't start immediately to stop people signing up knowing their car is faulty. They also don't cover pre-existing faults. You've either been really unlucky, or someone reset the fault knowing the car had the fault.
They also throw claims out if the car hasn't got a full history. That missing service could end your warranty.
With the fault happening so soon it's the dealer that you bought the car off that are liable for fixing it.
Hope you get it sorted soon, horrid start to ownership but dealer you bought if from should replace it. My hpfp went on my R at low mileage.....guess they're just not up to the high pressures needed for direct injection as so many seem to fail at low mileages.
So why did he sell me a warranty if it wasn’t valid
Did you experience the same symptoms? What was the cost of repair
That's how they make their money. Selling add ons like warranty, GAP, car coatings, and all other warranties.
Who is the warranty with? Have you read the T&Cs?
What garage did you buy the car from?
It will be the dealer you need to contact first.
What was the cost of replacing the HPFP
Is there a way of seeing if codes have been cleared

The symptoms you have described could point to the HPFP but it could also be a coil pack that has gone. Did the car sound lumpy (like it was misfiring ?).
I replaced all four coil packs and plugs, but it soon became clear it was the HPFP. I had all the work done under my Peugeot Platinum extended warranty.
I think the cost for the HPFP to the warranty company was in the region of £800. The work was carried out by a main dealer.
The dealer who sold you the car is responsible for the repair as he had only just sold you the car, regardless of any warranty he sold you.. The car has to be fit for purpose and it clearly wasn’t.
You also have the right to reject the car if he cannot fix it in one go. This is the consumer rights in the U.K.

The ECU memory normally stores historic codes these can show up as "Ghost Codes" if same or similar faults keep appearing

HPFP a couple of years ago was £339 from Neo Bros in Waltham Cross plus £96 for fitting locally.
I had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago which was diagnosed as cylinder 4 misfire. My garage changed the coil pack on that cylinder along with all of the plugs as they were the original's, all in £182.00. Touch wood, everything OK up to date.
Two types of pump, if I remember (?) 156 is far cheaper, the R and 200 are much more expensive circa £450. HPFP on it's way out throws coil pack codes and also from my experience and other posts leads to coil packs failing sometimes as a consequence/result and then going on to the pump itself going completely; poodling around town appears not to put the pressure on the pump, but the fault usually occurs when giving it beans/full throttle.
If codes are cleared the cheap reader I had had no record of any previous code being stored once deleted, may be different at a MD for sure.
For me a Warranty via Peugeot and was a circa £1100 job at a Main Dealer in 2019. Peugeot always seem to have issues sourcing fuel pumps of late can't see that being helped by Brexit and the complete load of bollocks/farce the Govt has made of the apparent free trade deal with Europe, my arse.
Agree with DKZ under the Consumer Law you can return the car if they are unable/unwilling to fix the problem, reckon whoever PX'd or sold the car knew all too well the HPFP was kaput.
