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

No subframe or suspension rot mentioned on any of the MOTs.

... possibly used as a normal everyday car...

Not necessarily a bad thing in itself. My Olive now at 360k kms on that 'diet' since 2005! Probably better than winter lay-ups for example? Agree about the "fix, not break". Could be that "Do not fix, do not break" could be more viable!
