sold an unroadworthy car Arnold Clark, Nissan, Perth

On further inspection I have found that :
• the log book had only been stamped once in 43723 miles
• the front passenger’s side inside wheel rim was damaged causing the tyre to go flat and have to be subsequently replaced I also now understand that the four tyres have less than a 1,000 left on them.
When fitting a new tow bar, the engineer at my local garage identified the following :-
• The vehicle had previously been fitted with a tow bar....the tow bar socket was in a plastic bag taped to the underside of the vehicle and the left and right tow bar anchors were still in situ.
• When this tow bar was removed the original integral cross member was not re installed.
• This left the rear of the vehicle without support and in an unsafe, unprotected condition in the event of a rear shunt /collision.
I am concerned that this vehicle was not properly checked prior to sale and was released to me in an unsafe condition. I would not wish to pay the same price for a car that had towed as opposed to a car which had never towed. Reason is that car may have been used to tow a horse box which it did with consequent EXTRA wear on clutch and gearbox also rear suspension. Had you known the car was used for towing, a horse box this would have affected your decision to buy this vehicle.
