Rusted out van

Brought a swift 655 kontiki reg WX53RUC, was told when I brought this vehicle it would come with a new mot with no advisory's. 4 months into ownership one side of the vehicle collapsed and was told by my garage that one of the springs was weak. The garage went to jack up the vehicle and the vehicle collapsed on the jack. All the work that was meant to be to be done on the mot hadn't been done in fact all they did was painted over the rust and passed it. The garage they used for this repair are friends with owner hence why it passed the mot. I could not sell this vehicle privately because of the rust issues. My only option was to sell the vehicle back otherwise I would off made a huge loss, I took a £7000 loss and now they have put it back up for sale at the original price. When they advertise vehicles with new mot and no advisories I would get the van inspected first BE VERY AWARE or you could end up like me
