Mini Cooper 17 reg

I got this car around 9 months ago and 2 weeks later the engine light came on. They took it back but took them 5 weeks to fix it. Just after this I booked the car into mini to check for a recall on the airbag. They said you may have a pinhole leak in your exhaust but couldn’t be sure but to be aware. Come MOT day…. Failed because of manifold leak engine side. Diagnosis later … a cowboy has done some kind of botch job on the manifold and that it would take £3,000-£4,000 to fix. They reassured me they knew the car inside and out as they knew the couple that had it and they had done all the work on it and MOT’d and serviced it for them for ages, they sold me this car to replace my previous car that had a huge engine failure that would cost around £3,000-£4000 to fix that I couldn’t afford. Turns out they sold me a car that needs the same amount of work. Luckily I haven’t had it a year so I’ll be going to trading standards. Really disgraceful
