We need pictures to be honest. Some people can't tell bad rot from normal rust.
I see you have a V70R - very nice. I've got a p2 V70R. Recently sold my 850 T5 and P1 V70 T5. Love my Volvos.

Thanks. Mine has a few issues which I'm working through... Let's say it was an ill thought out purchase. (like many of mine)I see you have a V70R - very nice. I've got a p2 V70R. Recently sold my 850 T5 and P1 V70 T5. Love my Volvos.
Is it the AWD version? Auto or Manual? Are you on the Facebook groups?Thanks. Mine has a few issues which I'm working through... Let's say it was an ill thought out purchase. (like many of mine)
Used to have a P2 S60 T5 manual as well. That one worked better...
This is a ******* cop out.Anyway, I've had a think and decided to cut my losses and move on.
- Could I pursue this and get my money back? Yes...
- Am I going to? Probably not...
- Why? because of the hassle, stress and time and effort, it will take. Also, if the guy is happy to sell a car to someone knowing it is unroadworthy, I can only imagine what else he is capable of, considering he knows my home address. I don't need that sort of aggro, and I believe I can put some of the issues right myself and keep the vehicle or sell it on and get my money back.
Honestly how safe is a £1500 car in reality?

Turns out it was so dangerous, they took him to court for me.
Perhaps you could go down this route?
Does it have a valid MOT? Presumably it does, but how, if it is about to disintegrate?

Ignore all the crap on here. This guys is pulling a known and very dangerous scam and he is doing something illegal which is easily identifiable and you are in the unique situation where you actually have proof AND a legitimate witness.
Don't be a pansy, someone else's kids might not be so lucky.
Report him to the police citing your evidence. Use that crime reference number to liaise with your bank. You will get your money back once the police have finished any investigation, and hopefully this **** get what he deserves.
You can get anything MOT'd if you know the right people. Fella I know will do it for £75 without even seeing the car.
No need. This is a police matter.Indeed. However this could help the OP. If the chap who sold it got it MOT'd by "the right people" he could perhaps take it to another MOT station and get it checked. Maybe if they confirm there is no way it should have passed, he could contact the DVLA and see what they say. Fortunately the issues is seemingly rust/rot so there is no way they could just say that it must have happened since the test either.

The dvla?Had this happen years back with my first car.
Had a smack, only to find the whole front end would move with the steering.
Dvla discovered this, and requested they investigate the car themselves.

FWD manual and yes. Sling me a Pm on here.Is it the AWD version? Auto or Manual? Are you on the Facebook groups?
The dvla?
Since when do they look at cars?
