Tyre fitter bodges TPMS sensor (& getting a Nissan E-NV200 ready for resale)

This was meant to be a short but I couldn’t edit it down to 60 seconds.
I’m getting a Nissan ENV200 ready for resale and it had a tyre pressure warning on the dash. One TPMS sensor wasn’t working and it was rattling around inside the tyre. This was a newly fitted tyre (by the previous owner) and clearly the tyre fitted had broken the sensor.
But on closer inspection, not only had they broken it, they had removed the battery which is sealed in gel and also spot welded in and also bodged the sensor on to the wrong type of valve stem!
It amazes me that a professional tyre shop can leave a vehicle like this and most have not trained themselves on TPMS sensors or stock the correct parts. TPMS sensors have been fitted in cars for nearly two decades now and have been mandatory on new cars, vans and trucks since 2012. It is taking tyre fitters a long time to catch up!
