Since the issue was recorded on the MoT which was done at the same time, they are denying responsibility under the following terms
"No liability will be accepted for, faults found at the time of service or as a result of the vehicle failing its annual MOT."
Cost to repair is nearly 2K so I'm not going to let this go easily and intend to go to small claims. Anyone have any experience/suggestions with this please?
