Comeback on Dealer if car was missrepresented

[Rawhide]

Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice. I recently paid a fairly high price for a car which was advertised as having had thousands of pounds of work just been performed. It was a dealer sale and the work was the first part of the sales description. The car in question has air suspension and to quote the add;

-NEW SUSPENSION ARMS
-BALL JOINTS
-NEW SUSPENSION AIRBAGS

Please note, the plural of the items above indicating more than one. So at the very least I could assume at least two of each item had been addressed. I was verbally advised all four air bags had been replaced which is the major item.

I negotiated a price and bought the car. I was replacing the brakes and noticed that only one air bag has been replaced on the rear axle and one control arm has been replaced. Thats it. The control arm is non OEM which I don't really mind too much but it's a performance car and I'd really expect both arms to be done on the axle.

The dealer has said he will get back to me on this as I've very fairly and politely advised the car has been misrepresented. I did trust this work to have been done as the overall car is very good and I don't want to reject it.

Can anyone advise where I stand here? To my knowledge the other airbags are not at fault but there was an advisory on the MOT for both rear airbags misting oil though I can see no evidence of that.

I'm intending to have an independent inspection performed.

How can they even see the rear air bags?

edit you mean suspension airbags!

it is suspension airbags. I was under the car when doing the front brakes. One is clearly brand new, the others are clearly not.

Plural could just mean more than one of each part??

Thanks, yes more than one would be what I would reasonably Settle for.

However still no contact so I will have to formalise this somewhat.

The dealer is the very smallest kind. Shared location with other business and very little actual legal presence. I am really not one for shaming on Facebook but would do the small claims route or even reject the car. Problem is they are so small if I reject the car I don't know if I could demand an on the spot refund.
