Obviously not looked after and possibly used as a normal everyday car. According to the MOT is was low on oil so must have run out. Scruffy means used in my opinion, might be a money pit, might not. As you say worse case for the engine is buy the one on eBay and put that in it . Not knowing the condition of the underside and rear subframe could put a damper on it. As said though, if I wanted it I would go view it but wouldn't break it
