I feel really sorry for you mate:(

I know there is not much you can do now but it might be worth having a word with the guy who sold it to you.

You should definatley name and shame. If some one on here is selling poorly, or even dangerously repaired cars we should know.

Aye, see if you have any luck talking to the seller first. It would seriously worry me that an MOT test hadn't picked damage like that up, sounds very suspicious.

Fingers crossed for an agreeable resolution.

Alot of advisory notes there, abit concern about the why the headlights not working and how the windscreen got cracked?

Have you checked the work done is correctly done? eg cracked screen,

How did he do 9k (approx) miles in one day?

If it were me, I would be ringing them and asking. That looks and smells a bit suspect.

The mileage discepancy alone would make me wonder.

That is not correct at all.

No way could all that be rectified in a day, I think it looks more like the tester was slipped a sly bit of cash or somethign similar :-/
