I can’t actually help at all but have also just been looking at this as a summer track toy, then I saw the 470bhp turbo’d one! I can’t believe the prices of these I paid pretty much the same for one 10 years ago..

No, somethings gone wrong somewhere

It's an 05 car, so MOTs will have started in 2008 IIRC...

Be better spending half that on a clean higher mileage ep3 and spending whats left on a few mods and rust prevention.

Perhaps it went across to NI?

I'd be happier with a 40k jump than a 400 mile one. But there are plenty out there, so would likely avoid this one.

If it's been looked after, definitely. My parents ran one from new to 100k in 5 years and it had literally zero issues (recognise that's a slightly different scenario)

Trouble is, most of them aren't...

If you're looking at spending that type of money for a daily then I'd be going for the FN2 you'll get a nice low mileage example for that money:
