I agree - get vosa invilved, They can inspect a vehicle for up to 3 months after a ticket has been issued for corrosion issues, I can assure you they will be intrested

Mention the fact that if you were to report them to Vosa they will be ready to give you your cash back.

You know mate, any dealer who gets there local garage to do it normally have a thing called 'favours' in place...ie; in any other garage it would probably fail its MOT...yet if there mate in the local garage does it he will turn a blind eye to certain things, he gets a bung and the dealer can sell it quick and hope for the best...He has just been caught out in this case but I bet he's done it a million times before.....Like the others say, just mention VOSA and he will brick himself.....Good luck.

Take photos as evidence, and take a ccpy of the photos into the dealer, as this basically shows you have everything you need to take them to the cleaners!
i`m sure mentioning that tese areas of corrosion relating to the saftey of your children (whether or nor you have any) and what could have easily happened in the event of a crash will help stir them further.....
me and my mate once went to look at a car in bradford which had 12mths ticket.... and unless it had been thrashed 30,000miles over rough terrain in the last week, i doubt it would have genuinley passed an MOT!
(rear shockers completely gone, half a wheel turn of play in the steering, emissions.... well, it looked like a petrol after a tankful of diesel had been through it!... hole (and i mean HOLE) in the windscreen)
certain things could happen within the drive out of the MOT station, a bulb etc... but corrosion doesnt happen instantly!
