Hi, I bought a used car 6 months ago for £625, from a small used car company the only paperwork was the last MOT which had no advisories which had 6 months left to run.
6 months on ive MOT'd it and it has been deemed dangerous to drive, I only use it for work and have travelled no more than 2000 miles.
when I got home I checked the online MOT history checker and it failed 28/09/2013 on a shock absorber leak, excessively corroded break pipes and anti roll bar linkages amongst a few other things, then 1/10/2013 it was re-tested at same garage and passed with no advisories. this year it failed on the exact same things (plus extra ware and tare stuff) so it must'nt have been fixed in 2013.
Had i known about the anti roll bar and leak i wouldnt have bought it.
I still have the car (i am not using it) but i need a car for work and cannot afford another or finance on one, I bought from a dealer as I have more rights. I have rung the dealer and he said he was going to look into it but nearly a week on no answer as yet.
What can I do to rectify this and what are my rights if any?
