Why did you not scrap it then

To be fair, if he only intends to report the offence (or what he perceives to be an offence) to the proper authorities then that's not vigilante justice.
If he took the law into his own hands and confronted the dealer or the testing station then that would be.
if you are genuinely worried then phone VOSA, they are very helpful.
"Mrcheerful" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
But to do so in the OP's circumstances is a breach of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
What here? Some chance.
do you honestly think it matters in the slightest? or that anyone would be interested if you told them?
"Mrcheerful" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
I think it's rather relevant when the moral high ground is being claimed in this manner...
But the OP does not yet have the letter from the DVLA saying that he is no longer responsible for the vehicle. Up to that point the minimum he is liable for is some questioning about his involvement with this vehicle.
Kim Bolton gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Can you see him applying that standard should a NIP land on his doormat?
If the vehicle is involved in a crime, I doubt your bland assertion would be sufficient for the police that came round to visit the OP.
Had he got the appropriate letter from the DVLA, then that might suffice, but that could be some weeks off.
Sorry.... don't know what came over me.
Spot on Mr C. when we carry out an MOT it is to a minimum standard & belive me it really is a minimum standard. I've had joe public in before saying its going to fail because of the brake pads, but unless they are below 1.5 mm then its a pass & advise, 1.5mm is i think about the thickness of a 5p piece ! same as tyres 1.6 mm will pass & advise today, but possibly fail tomorrow. OP if you really are concerned then contact your local area office & they can give you guidance.
I wonder how he would explain using and selling an unroadworthy car, knowing its faults.
And you're still wrong.
I admire your personal triumph of hope over experience.
Did he pass it off as being unroadworthy? If he didn't, then it's no contest.
as it went to a dealer it is irrelevant
I phoned a number under "vehicles wanted" in the local paper and told him I had a car I wanted rid of. He asked me about it, came to see it a few hours later and made an offer, we haggled and agreed a price
