Repairs after purchase keep coming!

Bought my car for cash in October 2019. Since then it just costs more and more. Upon purchasing I was told that the garage had sent off the log book, after 3 weeks heard nothing so rang the garage. I was told that they had just rang the DVLA and that it had been done. Waiting another 2 weeks, nothing arrived. Rang DVLA again and spoke to support, they said never received any log book or registered any calls from the garage. I then sorted it out myself. No remote key available for the car, went and got one as the garage only sold the car with a manual key, cost me £145. Car had been MOT'd a couple of weeks before I collected it and passed. Well.............. After 2 new tyres £120 and now a complete collapse of the exhaust, catalytic converter and brackets, I now have to pay another £720 to stay roadworthy. The best bit is in 2017 (Mot Trail) it was noted that the exhaust and brackets need replacing. 2018, passed MOT, 2019 passed MOT? with no comments about the exhaust. Two garages today confirmes that it was still the original exhaust and brackets and NO work or alterations had occured with the exhaust.....hmmmm. Garage salesman was really helpful and I have no fault against him but this car has cost m so much money and only had it 4 months. It was not a cheap car, I just feel that the MOT item stinks.
