Mi sold a class mileage scam

I have bought an A Class in Jan 22 and it was advertised with the mileage of 12+ on the clock and on the invoice 11250 miles and after 6 months of my purchase I checked the MOT online dated 7 Dec 21, the mileage is 21712 miles and then I spoke to Merc UK and asked for copy of my service by mail that I received in minutes and it shows the mileage on 10 Jan 22 of 21394. I have reported this to Merc Uk but since then only received a service doc with mileage clocked back to 12000 + but no other communication from Merc Uk and MOT still shows the 21712 miles as of dec 21. When I initially spoke to the seller on the ph, soon as he realised I know the mileage discrepancy between clock and Mot and service, he hung up on me and despite me called back twice never called back. It's around 10k mikes above the advertised so I am taking this matter to Financial Ombudsman as well as the Trading Standards Plymouth and also take this matter to a TV show such as Rip Off etc. I am demanding a full refund from the dealer and a compensation as I have lost the trust and have caused huge stress that why would they clock back a car just to get rid of it with more profits and never bother to come back to me with written answers. I have notified my finance company too so awaiting investigations by the agencies. Really pissed off that why would a brand like Merc would have a dealerships such as South West that just giving a brilliant brand a bad name. Please be careful and buy from a reputable dealer that you can trust about mileage. It can't be a mistake to put 10k plus miles on the MOT where they check the clock and then a month later service team again add another 1000 miles on top of MOT miles as they check the clock too but once car is sold the clock is at just above 12k miles 🤷‍♂️
