It might have been serviced once or not at all. Personally I'd take it back. When you sell it on a buyer may come back to you claiming fraudulent history.
Agreed.

This car is worth less than you paid for it. You are a victim of fraud / misrepresentation.

You cannot sell it with its “history” unless you want to commit fraud.

You are the injured party and entitled to compensation.
Don't forget to put on the "compo face" when in the local rag, pointing to the paperwork.
Grow up, you utter plank!. He has a valid point about the car being worth less money.

For a £2k car, lets be honest what difference does it really make to the value as long as it has been looked after.

Where did OP mention £2K, or in fact any price?

But we don’t know it has been “looked after” that is literally the whole point of the service history that has been forged.

Cheers!

He had ample time to check documents prior to buying and if he didn't, he shouldn't have bought it. We can all be victims after the event.
