My mates just been to collect a corsa gsi he won off ebay, no tax but had a years mot. He paid a ?200 deposit the ?1100 when he got there today. The bloke selling the car wasnt able to be there, so his 16 year old brother handed over the documents.
The cars nothing like described, running badly, alarm works when it wants to. Bleeps/flashes hazards randomly and wont always lock/unlock the doors. Everything electrical on the car looks like its been fiddled with, every sensors been messed with (says all new sensors on ebay). Its running badly, brakes are terrible foot travels to the floor.
Hes brought it round to see me and asking about it, ive noticed things that it should of failed the mot on. Like cracked b pillar, battery not secure, the brakes im sure wouldnt of passed. I know he should have turned away due to the ways its running etc, but he already paid the deposit, owed a full tank of petrol to his dad for driving him there and the bloke wasnt even there to kinda haggle the price or say no.
Is there anyone he can go through like police/vosa about the mot? I cant see him getting his money back any ideas?
