If the camera isn't hiding too much - for £995 I would say yes, you're being too picky.Am I being picky? Left my number in case it turned up!
Buy on condition at that age / mileage - I wouldn't worry that much about history.
It's not like you need to know that a cambelt has been changed, because it doesn't have one!!
Is that a spot of rust at the bottom of the wheel arch in the pics?

That manky steering wheel looks like it's done more than those 50k miles. Plus for that money i'd expect it to be perfect, but like all Puma's the rear arches look crusty. Way overpriced IMOIs this about as good as it gets for Puma's now?

Interested in get a 9-5 hot aero estate next year.

Manual or auto? Get the Auto if you can (as long as its not >2006 as the tax is high from then onwards.Interested in get a 9-5 hot aero estate next year.

Major issues: PCV kit breaks down and can block oil strainer, 'sludge' build up in the sump can kill the car, siren batteries go out and set the alarm off at random intervals, CPS can go at 60K+ (warning signs are difficulty starting when hot)
Make sure its been run on synthetic oil and has a decent service history
