as its under a month old it suggests it was a bent MOT station or tester, make a factual list of faults but only those that a MOT tester would look for not a fault elsewhere on the vehicle as the other non MOT faults would be down to you not testing them prior to purchase, see what seller says in answer to your claim then if still not happy, go legal on him involving VOSA and you may end up going small claims court route as a private seller
