Legal threats are all well and good, but tread carefully:
If its a small sales pitch and he gets too much hassle, the dealer could just bump the business, close down, and set up elsewhere, relieving himself of any previous issues.
Its something I see weekly with small and slightly iffy businesses - Slight hint of trouble legal or financial, bump, closed.

You're rather missing the point: upon being informed by the buyer that the car was a Cat D (and therefore not as advertised) he has refused to return the deposit. If he didn't know up front it was a Cat D (unlikely if he knows his stuff) then at the point he found out he should have offered to reduce the price or hand the deposit back.

A dealer is legally obliged to check a car before sale and that includes an HPI check as well as basic checks to ensure the mileage is genuine. If this has not been done they are obliged to take the car back and refund the money paid. Legally the dealer has to return the deposit there is absolutely no doubt about that. I would phone him and state very plainly that you know the law and will be taking him to court.
Every dealer who knows a thing writes cat a-b-c etc on any receipt for a car that is on the register to prevent people trying to return a car or take the dealer to court claiming that they did not know that it was a cat d.
I would also suggest that you drop hints about pouring paint stripper all over his forcourt if he does not return the money.

I saw Taken last week.....that would be a great way.
Take the two adverts to the CAB. They will see the changes, even if he then says he wasn't aware until you mentioned it you are still entitled to a refund as the car isn't as described.
