Worst experience ever

I bought a volvo c70 in March 2021 off a c.j.newman over the phone during lockdown. He reassured me the car was immaculate he gave it 12 mnth M.O.T. with no advisories. Every other past M.O.T.s dating back to 2017 had advisories wishbones worn. When I confronted him his response was its the testers discretion as to whether he writes the fault down. Also found wheel discs were badly worn especially the rear as my local mechanic found. Again confronted him and after a lot of arguing he decided to pay for the rear discs. When I took delivery of the car I found some minor problems or thats what I thought. Aircon didn't work plus audio was faulty, while getting aircon gassed it had a leak and needed new condenser £115 plus fitting, again confronted him but was not interested same for audio. I then looked back on service history only to find these problems were highlighted back in 2014. So the car was sold to me without me being made aware. Very naughty. Trading standards are now involved (court case lost by dealer)
