I had a similar thing happen to me a few years ago took a megane 225 sport in Px against a x5 I had it turned out to be a cat c and also had no mot I contacted the police and was told that it was a civil matter not a criminal one and that it was down to me to do the relevant checks before doing the deal I even had the blokes name and address but they wouldn't help at all I went to the blokes house and he called the police I nearly got nicked for breach of the peace what I couldn't understand is if he told me it had mot and was hpi clear which he obviously knew it wasn't surely he's guilty of obtaining property by deception due to the fact that he lied to get the car ?
