car trader and the customer

[bandd]

i bought a corsa for 2,000 from a trader ,it had a years mot. after one week the car was off the road , i had to get a new rad, anti roll bar, cv joint, and part for the temp gauge, all together costing nearly 500. i have had the car 5 months . went to a dealer to part exchange to find its a cat D. they wont part exchange,
i have read that as a trader sold me the car he should have told me it was a cat D.
Where do i stand legally in respect of getting a refund .

With respect to your answer Norm, bandd if you can find the advert for the car if it was in the paper etc or whatever ads that was about the car contact your local trading standards and ask their advise I think you have a case here, regards the MOT, The MOT is only for the time the car was tested not after unless it was a SET UP This is a thing that we keep advising people on, If you do not know anything about cars and their Mechanical side Take someone with that knows otherwise you will get stung, YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED.
