.... whether it has been 'repaired'.
If you are strapped for cash and need transport, a 'repaired' car (which this one seems to be) is not necessarily a bad deal. If the repair was recent the damage may have been trivial, but more expensive to repair professionally than the street value of the car - such as a mild front-end damaging lamps and bumper but nothing structural. My car was written off in this way 2½ years ago but is going as well as ever. If the damage was very recent the seller may have patched it up poorly and be trying to get rid.
Only downside is when/if you come to sell, which will be difficult, as the present seller may be finding out. If you drive it successfully for a few years it could prove good value, even if you have to scrap it.
