What makes you think it's been "ragged"?

I use all the power my car can and will give me (Hybrid turbo etc) but wouldn't consider mine as been ragged. As long as it's done appropriately when full up to temp it isn't an issue IMO.

Buying a used car is always a gamble, regardless of its been modded or not.

What is your definition of ragged?!

Go and look at it, drive it, and check it has ALL paperwork including at least 3 cambelt & waterpump changes.

 

130K is not a lot of miles  for a 12 year old diesel car, just over 10K  a year. suggests it has not been used a lot, I sold mine after 3.5 years with 62k motorway miles on.

I know nothing of the car - could be a complete potato, but the Red 17" Spiders look well on the all Black exterior!

If it's not too far away it must be worth a look. Nothing to lose from walking away.

I'd check what has been done to it for it's "217bhp". You need to replace x, y and z to get but it's whether they have changed the parts that brake because of getting x power. What clutch for example? Cambelt and water pump as everyone else has advised and most importantly whether your other half can get insured with x modifications and power as well should factor into it.

Puts me off when people can't be bothered to put effort into a for sale ad.

This is dodgy!

Doesn't seem to be an aberrant MOT finger problem either. There's an MOT recording 163K too.

 

You could try to negotiate a lower price.... Though there's probably some enthusiasm>caution punter champing at the bit to be fleeced.... Or so the seller might think.

Wouldn't bother mate I know two prevoius owners and the cars gave trouble to both ps. It has been ragged around brum like a tart

 It doesn't get much clearer than that! Walk away (quickly).
