Car with hidden history

Purchased a used car just under 10k from TL Darby MG/Select. Two days later started to have an issue, fuel leaking and fumes. Took to manufacture to be informed it had a new engine and parts are missing. Fixed and paid by TL, one month later engine starts to bang, took to garage more money spent told fuel injectors TL collected car, gave temp car while they fix, told to check car over. Got car back, A/C doesn’t function, took to garage, more money spent on checking. Inform TL they offer to purchase back then get ignored by Manager when stated yes, had to get CEO involved to get back most of the cars value. Lost £500 of value plus garage diagnostics to find out the problems. Was informed a one off repair, manager stated unaware, told staff member who did the fault to first engine is no longer there but still doesn’t explain why parts were missing when put back together. Over half the time had the car was in repairs. Overall would buy a car from them but be aware of hidden history which can occur at any dealership.
