Possible dodgy MOT, what to do?........

So according to you, you're liable for all speeding fines, parking tickets and motoring offences between the date you signed the section on the V5 and the date the letter is sent?

And now you're bitching because he was able to fix it and make some money.

But you're basing this on your own complete lack of ability to do the repairs which is completely the opposite to someone with a garage, tools and the know-how to do it. There is seriously no more than a few hours work from the list you provided.

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.

Trading standards might be another one to direct questions to...

ROFLMAO.

Why? Did the OP mislead the trader?

Why exactly did you think he was buying the car?

Once the greeny is signed, that's the end of it as far as I am aware. Besides, the registration document is not proof of ownership (legally).

But it is (from experience).

By the way, the MOT does not guarantee roadworthiness of the vehicle at any time other than when it was tested. :)

What most traders will do in cases like this, is to find a good car of the same year and colour, and swop the VIN plate and No plates, and get an MOT on it, and then swop the identification back to the car thats probably a scrapper if repaired properly.

This is the sort of thing that gets sold by home traders through local papers, or very often now on Ebay.................. its all very very dodgy, and few of the cars sold by these types are roadworthy, and most are deathtraps.

You "think"? LOL

LOL. Don't use that website, anyone! You could end up inside!

Another anally retentive d*****ad.. LOL

Simple. Sold "as seen".

It'd be quicker. cheaper & easier to fix that list of faults than swap the VIN plates.

Well, the issue of getting the final letter from the DVLA about one being confirmed as no longer liable for the vehicle been discussed on here before. It begs the question as to if it isn't important, why do they send it out?

I don't think that's being contested.

No they don't...
