Default Some questions about s40 d5 I'm considering to get

I've been speaking to the owner and hes sent me a few videos of the car so i can get an idea before going to see it..


he sent me a video and when key is turned on the glow plug light only showed for a split second like not even 1 second is that anything wrong ? Usually it will stay on longer than that right? I have a s40 2.0 d and mine also doesnt Stay very long but still bit longer than this one


Also he says steering wheel is shaking over 60mph and he said that he changed 2 inner drive shaft and the shaking started after this

Just looking at mot history and last time it failed on 29th March this year it says following:

Repair immediately (major defects):
Nearside Front Inner Prop shaft joint constant velocity boot no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 (g) (ii))
Offside Front Inner Prop shaft joint constant velocity boot no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 (g) (ii))

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Nearside Rear Nail in tyre ()
Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.2.3 (e))
Offside Front Inner Drive shaft damaged but serviceable (6.1.7 (e))

Any thoughts ?

Thanks !
