Is it possible to get an address for a car reg?

I think all the work would have been done on the super cheap to have any chance of making money. I even took out the radio.

the dust cover is a normal defect if that was the side damaged you would expect it to be replaced but not always.

The tyre wear is possibly camber but it was on the rear so it probably suffered before - did you have very worn tyres?

If they have done a rebuild of the front suspension, missing a damaged/ineffective dust cover is negligence. They only cost a couple of quid. You have to ask what else they have skimped on...

As for the tyres, camber won't make the wear uneven, that is a symptom of something else being wrong.

Anyway, none of us will be anywhere near the damn thing again, so who really cares. Apart from the idiot/sucker that bought it of course...

A major cause of inside tire wear is a car's front end being out of alignment. This can be caused by hitting pot holes, curbs or driving on rough roads. Tire alignment is done by adjusting the "camber" of the car which refers to how straight up and down your tires are when looking at them from the front. If the bottoms of the tires lean to the outside, you have negative camber which can cause excessive inner tire wear.

sadly one of us may be when it crashes into us.

Very true. But in my defence, you missed this bit "Both inner edges wearing unevenly". That implies an wheel that is not rotating evenly or a badly aligned suspension with possibly some lost motion..

Although we are discussing a Skoda...
