    So he would essentially be trying to bring a claim on the basis that the car is unroadworthy but then wouldn’t the judge ask if such is the case, why did he buy the car if at the time of purchase HE knew it would be so. His friend even pointed out to him that a missing bolt is an MOT fail. 
    You knew it was unroadworthy when you sold it and in doing so committed a criminal offence.
    If you are going to bring up legislation, at least take all points into account:

    '(7)Nothing in the preceding provisions of this section shall affect the validity of a contract or any rights arising under a contract.'
