I bought a 2010 Polo from a local Volkswagen dealer but had to take it back to them three months later, as the car was pulling significantly to the left. They remedied the fault but at the same time informed me that one of the tyres had only 2mm tread remaining and that another was only slightly better, advising that both be changed.

I have done only 1200 miles and am upset that they have sold it to me with tyres in such poor condition. Having paid £9000 for the car, the last thing I expected was to have to change two of the tyres so soon afterwards. What recourse do I have against the dealer, who must have known via his '55 Point' inspection that the tyres were close to the legal limit when the car was prepared for sale?
