What proof? The MOT tester could very easily have missed a cracked spring believe me.
True, but have to assume they will take their word over mine!

Why?Yes, but the warranty won’t cover a spring with corrosion....
Why?

Did the dealer put a warranty on the car
With a third party company. If the answer is yes then call them and send them that picture to process the claim. If there is no third party involved then the onus is on the dealer/seller to replace that spring.
The warranty firms I've dealt with regarding s/h cars have not been worth the paper they're written on, the old 'don't cover wear and tear' can cover their backs on almost anything, the garage that sold you the car I thought would be a bit more forthcoming on helping you out especially if the car wasn't heavily discounted when you bought it. They need to be a bit accommodating in this day and age of reviews in the internet.
I’m not sure. That’s just what they said... perhaps I should be asking!!
The fact that the car was SOR makes no difference what so ever!
Nothing to do with the original owner.
Sound like they are bluffing and hoping you just go away!
That to me, even if the cost to you to get the spring changed yourself is not the end of the world, would wind me up and make me pursue the dealer just for the principle of it!
SOR means nothing the onus is on the dealer. Call the warranty company back and tell them the spring has cracked not corroded. How hard is this?
