Car sold with dodgy MOT

I seen the car for sale at Star Motors 5 Ltd and contacted Prash, as im living in Ireland I asked Prash to give me an honest overview of the car as i would be coming along way with the view to purchasing . He stated the car had a recent MOT,full service history, 12m warranty etc. I took his word and gave him a deposit to hold the car. After purchasing the car and arriving back to Ireland the engine malfunction light came on diagnosis -defected battery not covered under warranty. I put the car through an NCT equivalent of MOT and it failed miserably with some major defects ( Headlamp mounting damaged,Rear swingarm bushes broken, Front shock and top shock mounts damaged) the tester advised this car should have never passed an MOT in this state. The car had only done 2000 miles since it's MOT, i rang Prash who tried to fob me off and refuses to take my calls now. It has now cost me £1000 to rectify this. Please be wary and the Handler Protect warranty that comes with the car is a joke.
