My car's service history was missing - now it's fictional

I bought my 2009 Vauxhall Antara from Motor Parks (Preston) in Sept 2012. At the time, I was told by Salesman that it was ex-Mobility, and had a full service history. However, the company has lost the service book, they have got me a new one - but they have not had it brought up to date, as yet and I keep getting passed from pillar to post every time I enquire.

I have been to another Vauxhall dealer which went the extra mile, and did a service check on it for me... And apparently the car has never been registered with Mobility, and never had a service with any Vauxhall dealership.

I now feel that I was misled into buying this car.
