Contact Gumtree, check out their rules regards selling unworthy goods Peter. this is exactly the point I am making in a section in motoring.

If he had HPI'd this car he would have then knew it had been scrapped.

It is possible to return the car to the road but you would need a Vehicle Identity Check: http://www.direct.gov...doitonline/dg_4017800
It all depends how much needs doing for it to pass the MOT and inspection.

Why didn't he take some advice as it seems to be his first car purchase?

cant believe he bought it without any documents, what about MOT ? some of the theory test can cover vehicle documents.
