Rejecting used car from dealer within 30 days

[Mac]

I’ve purchased a used vehicle 5 days ago from a dealer (9 years old mileage: 82k)
I’ve recently had the car checked and following issues were found and needed replacing
Wishbones both sides
Ball joints both sides
Breaks
Anti roll bar bush
Mainly issues with the suspension.

I’ve asked the dealer specifically about wishbones and suspension in general and assured me its been checked.
The car has only 2 month MOT left and in the current state the car wouldn’t pass MOT for issues listed above.

I am aware vehicles purchased from a dealer with “significant faults” can be returned although what exactly is considered as a significant fault as this is covered vaguely. Based on the issues listed can the vehicle be rejected under the grounds that the vehicle is not of satisfactory quality, and free from any defect”.

Please advise
