Disappointed and lied to...

I bought a car from Motormania not so long ago. The car looked nice was in a rush to buy as old one kept breaking down etc. They did not offer me to test drive it whatsoever. So we came to an agreement for the car etc MOT and all that stuff. I will come to the MOT in a minute. After just a day of driving the car the engine warning light came on, and the car started juddering. Went to the mechanics and it turned out it was the MAF needed replacing along with the sparkplugs and air filter. The air filter looked like it sat there for at least 5 years. It was torn, moist and so dirty that the MAF had gone! The car developed a louder knocking noise so I went to my local trusted mechanic and he said the steering rack is faulty. He said it shouldn't of passed the MOT with a faulty steering rack. This had to be replaced as well. Even more money went into this car just in the period of 1 week. The tyres weren't good either. I text the seller to ask him if he had any warranty on the car. He saw my message but never replied. He probably went into his mates MOT test garage and paid him to get a certificate. Because the details aren't correct. The steering rack was faulty and very dangerous. when the car was slowing down it was dragging to one side. therefore, the rear licence plate light wasn't working and it somehow still passed MOT. He clearly doesn't care all they care about is money and the place isn't as friendly and good as people think it might be. I would stay away unless you want to get illegal MOT documents or damaged car components which can be life threatening and you would be paying for your death basically! Be careful what you buy and avoid. Bunch of liars.
