Depends how far you want to go with it, Trading Standards might be interested, as he is selling far more cars than a "Private seller".

Or just bite the bullet and fix it.

Or HMRC sure they would be interested!

It used to be the case that you were allowed to sell something like 6 cars per year as a private seller, any more than 6 was considered to be dealing, I don't know if that still applies.

I don't think "sold as seen" is any sort of defence these days.

Quick update i have just broken lots of engine bay clips trying to get to the vent under the scuttle panel to find.........Its dry as bone with no signs of water anywhere near :( any other points of entry as i can feel water around a round black thing under the glove box???

Have also contacted trading standards via email plus citizens advice and ebay now i play the waiting game :D
