My son test drove a Mercedes-Benz SLK200 last week. The seller was not available but his girlfriend let my son test drive the car which he agreed to buy for £5800. As my son was not available to pick up the car, I picked it up for him and paid cash.

On arrival home I checked the last service report and found that the Mercedes garage which serviced the car had stated that the car had an air con problem - it needed a new condenser and pipe. t also recommended both sets of torque strut bushes and both sets of cross strut bushes be replaced as they were either worn or split. Total cost approximately £1800.

The seller advertised the car as "lovingly looked after and beautiful condition". I feel the seller did not disclose the correct state of the car with the known faults. Do we have any recourse?
