It might be worth you checking the car's recent MOT history using
https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ before you commit yourself further.
It would be interesting to find out what was done and by whom to get it through this year's MOT at a third attempt in a two month period when no mileage increase was recorded on the odometer during that time.
