Default Bargain diesel for under £200.. too good to be true?

I ended up placing a last minute bid on this diesel 75 last night. Not because I needed it but because it was sooo cheap. Winning bid came at £187, mot until November and showing 160k miles. I shall report back once I have collected it and driven the 150 miles home.
It's going to be a daily driver for my wife, listing stated it needs attention to passenger seat recline and drivers door doesn't work from central locking.
Good tyres and recent rear wheel bearings. Keep your fingers crossed if you see me driving from hull to Huntingdon with the damson kv6 to collect it on weds evening
I'm hoping this is a rare occasion to purchase a running road worthy example at this price.

I'm sure you dont want to break it but if you are lumbered with a dog I'm sure it would just about cover the 200 plus petrol & ins to get it home.

I look foreward to reading how you get on it will be a nice little adventure anmyway

It'll be easier to point out good bits: engine gearbox and xenon lights and rear wiper motor
Rest of it is a total shed mucky carpets ripped leather seats broken switches etc
