Car looks Ok,
I know what its saying in the text but still take it out and get it hot, turn it off for around 8 minutes then check it starts instantly again cleanly without lots of winding on the starter.
If it struggles, walk away.
Other than that treat it like looking a any other car
Hope this helps

What i would add is ask to see the rebuild receipt...various builders offer different tiers of rebuild RM is no different so check there website against the receipt so you know wether a budget rebuild or premium rebuild and as a buyer market prepare to haggle.
Check out mot history website and look for rust in the rear sills.
Nice collection of aftermarket parts.
On the test drive rev it out til 9krpm a few times too.
Good luck.

thank you boosted. The advice you have given about the rear sills i'd not heard/read about. Will do so re the build too. Was unsure to the aftermarket mods, but you have put my mind a bit easier, happy days. Cheers
