This is how I bought my car:

1. Found a nice car
2. Talked to them on the phone, they were really nice
3. Test drove the car
4. Did a check, all passed fine
5. Haggled, got a good price
6. Bought the car

Bought it a year ago, flew past its last MOT, mechanically perfect.

And guess what, it's not rare for that to happen. It's normal. So why you'd want to go ahead with this car that has these many issues with alarm bells ringing, I've no idea. Just give it a miss and look for another one? Like other people said, there's plenty out there. Just go elsewhere.
