You can always take them to court. However, it's very unlikely you will recover the inspection cost. The MLS listing likely had a disclaimer (as well as your contract) that any information is not guaranteed to be accurate and must be verified by the buyer. The inspection served its' purpose and was your protection for any issues that were not disclosed or unknown by the seller. Hopefully your contract allowed you to cancel with return of earnest money if you didn't like the results. Sounds like you got your money's worth out of the inspection.
