UK, Ireland / Buying a used car from a private seller in UK. What is the law if... [18]
Especially in Poland!!
Was there a newspaper advertisement from which the car was found? The might be a case under a goods descriptions act. If the car was very expensive it might be worth seeing and paying for a piece of solicitors time though as I say, this can be expensive. A Citizens Advice Center might be able to give advice though they are usually only 'middle men' and will give a list of local solicitors who deal in that sort of professional subject area. It is an offense to sell a car, which is not road worthy and if the car is dangerous, then the police could, would and should be interested and they can bring a prosecution though the penalty may be not much and it will not really help the people now stuck with a shoddy car.
