It's a bit of a crap advert which is probably why it hasn't sold.

Other than why he bought it/ wants to sell it, the seats and alloys it doesn't really say anything.

Find out mileage, previous owners, what works been done to it, is there any advisories from lot? Haldex service due?

Could be good for the money if you find out all the details.
