Declared 'Unsafe' after service

I recently purchased a BMW 1-Series from Higginshaw Motors. Despite being advised as fully MOT'd, when trying to tax the vehicle we discovered it wasn't. Higginshaw said they would MOT it on the following Monday and deliver it to me. Once received, it was serviced by national garage within 50 miles of ownership. They said that under no circumstances should it have passed it's MOT, and was £1200 away from being road safe. It took 4 days to speak with someone from the garage who refused to acknowledge any responsibility. I have now referred the matter to the DVSA.
