put some brand new plugs in as priority, trust me it will be the best thing you can do, rotaries seem to eat the plugs. Mileage although a good indicator is not always what it makes out to be. For instance in the FD world rebuilds happen around this point. In the FC side of things that a really good low mileage but please bare in mind its history. has it been left standing for years, is mileage correct, any service history, import ? etc it all plays a part and also a good foundation in which to give you some quality answers.

are you getting a good spark ??

remove a plug and lead , put the plug in the lead and rest it against something and get someone to crank the car - can you see it sparking OK

might be worth making sure its not flooded either ( have a search for de-flooding procedures )
