Hey everyone, I have a series of very important and related questions, but first a little background.
I paid for and collected my N reg Disco two weeks ago. Sorted my insurance, but the vehicle was taxed until the end of August and I was told the car had an MOT until November but the boss had sent off to get a duplicate because they had bought it from a trader and all of the papers hadn't come in.
I had a phone call from the dealer saying they couldn't get a duplicate, and if they could have the car back for a few days. Not really practical as they are 40 miles away and I use the car for commuting.
They sent me through the V5 so I checked (using direct.gov.uk) the validity of the MOT. It expired in June-shocked.
So, I've nipped it up to my very friendly MOT centre and they have failed it on rear/driver body mount/sill area and the boot floor, where the corner has rotted. So what I need to know is:

- Where do I stand with them saying it was MOTd?
- Who is liable for the welding I need to pass it?
- If I am, how much will it cost?
