Sorry to hear this.
The MOT link you provided shows it failed on a missing wheel nut
which was rectified the same day.
I'd be interested to know what, in the eyes of the independent
assessor, makes the car unroadworthy. If it was tyre damage
then of course that would easily be batted back as "Well! It
wasn't like that when I sold it".
I agree with others that it does certainly look like a trader
masquerading as a private seller and I hope you have screenshots
of all the other vehicles he has sold before now. A good liar
will wriggle themselves out of most corners I imagine.
I don't think the Police will be interested but it is certainly
worth making calls to Trading Standards and DVSA. I'd doubt TS
will act on one call. They are more likely to want to hear more
than one complaint unless it is sufficiently serious but action
could be slow. DVSA are more likely to be hot on a garage
overlooking things but I am not sure they can offer your
friends' son any real assistance.
