Suggestion
If the dealer won't let you have It inspected (if you were to ask), I think that's a indicator not to pursue it when there are others available in the market who will.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I don't know the car/dealer, though the online MOT history is quite colourful with quite a few advisories and the odd fail. It looks like the car has done about 5k miles in 5 yrs with MOT dates all over the place.
As usual advice, Get an independent inspection undertaken (including a borescope) as it'll be worth the cost though on a car of this age it's items such as brakes/tyres/suspension and rads that need to be looked at. I'd also ask for a full breakdown of its service history/how/what/when before you go to see it or organise an inspection and full details of the warranty scheme they use. If the dealer won't let you have It inspected (if you were to ask), I think that's a indicator not to pursue it when there are others available in the market who will.
Where is it in the country? Must be close enough to a respected specialist to get a (paid for ) PPI done. If you have that and negotiate a good price based on it then nothing to be scared of I'd say.
The cynic in me says that as it's the cheapest 50k mile car I can see advertised yet it has been for sale for a while, then something must be amiss somewhere. Might be worth calling round the local specialists and see if any of them have done a PPI on it already?
If your looking for a good 4s my old one is for sale. Rare colour in great condition and Kline exhaust.

That is a stunning colour and I thought it had sold a week ago - said reserved - then came back for sale. Lots being reduced at the moment and none sold, so far as I am aware in the last month - hang on a bit, the market is cooling.
OP - if you're interested in another Slate Grey C4S then drop me a PM.
My 77k miles car is possibly available, I was going to wait until new year but I always said if I found a bit of interest I would sell a bit earlier.
