Volkswagen Polo help me please!!!!

Car: Volkswagen Polo
Variant: 1.4 Match
Model Year: 2011
Categories: Leaks & Noises
Ok, I bought a CAT C right off car last november (2010). I just had its full service on it and the list is endless!
The garage is saying it needs 'jigging' because camber/toe/castor is out of alligment. Surely if they are saying my car is 'bent' then the it shudn't of gone through an MOT the week i bought it or even put back on the road, they are saying its dangerous to drive it :/
The list is about 500 pounds worth of repairs.. if i get them done, is this work going to be ongoing, as in the stuff that i replace will wear quicker than normal and i wind up with this bill every year?
Shall i do the repairs, cut my losses and sell?

-Gear box oil leak
- o/s + n/s/f link rod bushes worn
-o/s link rod retaining bracket bent
-o/s/r + n/s/r wheel bearing excessive play and rough

You will be busy fixing all that for £500 , thats why it was a write off .Could end up a money pit .If garage say it's dangerous and shouldn't be on the road , query MOT .

I got this reply today

Dear Sir/ Madam

Thank you for your email enquiry dated 5th April 2011 concerning your
vehicle

If you believe the vehicle should not have passed the MOT then we can lodge
a report with our Regional Intelligence Unit for further investigation. To
do this please provide the details and area where said station is located

That is normal procedure , now up to you . They will examine car and documentation (MOT)and take what action needed .
