If the garage can reasonably claim that you told them there were likely to be MOT failures and you wanted those fixed, then you don't have much of a legal case. Aside from the seat (a corrosion or rust problem?) the rest of what you describe sounds like "fixing rear brake and parking brake MOT test failures." If they considered the brake problems made the car "too dangerous to drive" your alternative would have been to pay somebody to tow it away, tow it back to the repair shop, and then pay for a complete MOT retest, on top of the actual cost of the repairs. | |
