hi i bought a car from ebay in oct 12. when i brought the car it was sold as having full mot vaild untill aug 2013.
the tax is now due to be renewed and i cannot find the mot papers given at the time.
i have used the data base to trace the mot only to be told that there is no currant mot for this car.
the last mot run out in 2011.
i have contacted the seller and was told the garage that the car had its mot. when i contacted the garage they told me that there was no mot for this car at this garage.
i contacted dvla and they just told me to but the car though another mot. when i questioned the fact that the car had only just run out of a tax disk and should of had a mot when the tax run out 6months ago i was told that this would be possible by going to the post office with a paper mot.
when i suggested that this meant that anyone could print off a mot and use it to gain a tax disk i was told yes.
i have reported the seller to ebay, not that this will help in anyway and i have contacted C.A.B who suggests i write a recorded letter to the seller which takes forever and does not help in the here and now.
does anyone have any advice for me as to where next as im now left with a car i cant drive and out of pocket. martin
