Why not just let highways England know about it and let them deal with it if they want. If you do say something you will not give a very good first impression on your new neighbors.1

FWIW, The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 applies to traders dealing with consumers.
So it would only apply if the seller of the property sold houses as a trade or business. It wouldn't apply to a private seller.
And if it did apply to the seller, the buyer would need to report the seller to Trading Standards. Then it would be up to Trading Standards to decide whether to prosecute the seller.
If the seller put misleading information on the TA6 form, and the buyer suffers a loss as a result - that's a civil matter.

Hold on. If it's a breach of covenant they must have seen it when their solicitor explained the lease/freehold.
