Suggestion · Original poster
is there a list I should check off against or is it best to get a professional to do it?
Check over-revs &/or remaps; a bonus would be a leakdown

Ideally, you want to get the ECU read to check for over-revs &/or remaps; a bonus would be a leakdown test.
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.

It all depends..
It's a bit leggy so it's probably pitched about right. However, if it needs turbo actuators, rads, clutch, brakes, suspension... Any one of those will be a good reason for money off or free rectification. More than 2 & I'd walk away. Also, what dealer puts a car up with less than a month's MOT?
If it has a full OPC service history, you would expect them to have found any issues - they are good at that! Personally, I'm not a lover of the black wheels, but each to their own. The bum imprint in the driver's seat made me chuckle though.
I agree with Nick that it is pitched about right, but if you go for it get a decent inspection done.
There's no guarantee that the owner acted on any service advisories though. These cars are getting to a price point where owners may be tempted to scrimp on maintenance & move them on before the big bills arrive. Inspection is vital to avoid any nasty surprises.
cheers for the fast response guys. I've entered a few details of my car on their website to see what they can do part ex wise. is there a list I should check off against or is it best to get a professional to do it?

Try Matt at Fearnsport (Silverstone) or Steve at JAZ (Wembley).
That's priced to sell and is a reflection of the mileage, got to be worth a view and test drive. Don't forget to add on to check list a/c, rear tyre inside edges and for second gear jumping out
Yes. The wastegates are in the turbo housing, and the get extremely hot, and can seize up, especially if not regularly used. The actuator is a vacuum operated device, which has a steel rod which connects to the arn which operates the wastegate. The rods also get hot, and because they are low down on the engine, are exposed to the elements. A good combination for corrosion. Having said that, my 996T had 86k on the clock when I sold it, and they were fine on mine. I did use it every day, and I think that helps.
