Any ideas on the frame would be welcome. Is it likely a design fault? Do you think its worth getting welded or will it just break again?

What I found is this can be a problem of inconsistent welding and/or sloppy assembly. Unless the frame itself is cracked, making a proper motor mount will probably be best in the long run.
Not exactly sure what your case would involve. Got pictures of the damage?
