Steer clear of these dodgy traders

Where shall I start? Travelled nearly 300 miles to take delivery of a vehicle described as immaculate, with "the only thing wrong" being a scuff on the front bumper. I was rushed through delivery (at my mother's house) by a delivery driver, and I didn't notice a few things wrong, but did complain about there only being one key and no paperwork other than the V5. I decided to take it anyway, as I knew I wouldn't get my deposit back and needed a car to get home! It drove well and the history all stacked up, so I took a chance. Since taking delivery I have discovered the fuel flap doesn't open (it was running on fumes when I got it), the new battery promised wasn't fitted (I broke down on day 2), luggage cover and rear headrests are missing, drivers door mirror is u/s, one tyre is barely legal, yet not even mentioned on the MoT done a few miles earlier (MoT tester has the same surname and similar address to the seller), and loads more... Nearly 3 weeks later the seller is refusing to provide any sales paperwork and proof of ownership, does not answer calls or texts, except to say I don't have a guarantee as he knocked £50 off (for there being only one key) and you only get a warranty if you pay full price! DO NOT EVEN ASK ABOUT A CAR FROM HERE. PS. These guys trade and advertise as 'JCT 4 Trade Cars', 'JCT 4 Cars & Commercials' and somehow they get 1 star reviews removed from other review sites!
