Ok bare with me while I try and explain the situation a mate has got into.

He sees a car on Ebay he likes, bids and wins it. The car is described as having no rust and mechanical faults. It has 12 months MOT and 6 months tax so all seems good.

My mate goes to pay for the car and signs the V5, which is addressed to some one completely different (not the seller) but the small green slip is already signed by the seller. He then drives off and realises the car isnt right. The brakes are shocking, the speedo needle jumps over bumps and the o/s sill looks like this..



So he emails the seller who says hes sorry that the car isnt up to standard and that he will give a refund as long as the car is returned tomorrow.


BUT what happens with the V5 as the small slip is in the sellers name and the main part has been sent off to the DVLA. My mates affraid that the seller could rack up a load of fines under his name.

Cheers in advance for any advice.
