Blue TF 2005 No MOT but nice bits and pieces!

I've been offered this at a knock down price. I test drove it the other day and it was lovely (despite a fault which meant the engine kept cutting out!
The dealer said he would look into it as it was probably something simple, now he's reduced the price which obviously means it's not worth his time, or it's serious.
I literally went to see it as it was at the bottom of my road and left actually being quite impressed with it, yet not wanting to find the time to get it fixed up and MOT'ed.
I think the dealer saw my eyes light up at the interior (especially the seats).
I'm looking another car this weekend which I am almost certain to buy, however I have room on my driveway for a SORNed motor too.
Not sure why I'm posting this other than not wanting this car to go to waste as, though it has many negatives, it also still has a lot going for it.
If you see something you like that makes it worth me buying the car, then let me know. Or else you may want to buy it?
I believe this car has been used for racing. The exhaust was noisy, he said it had been modded (it sounded like it was blowing to me). The black plastic (tape) has been applied for racing reasons, I had a look and think it's easy enough to remove.
The cars reg is: YY53 OVK
VIN: SARRDLBPC4D621872
MOT expired 1st November 2017. I've seen the last MOT and there were no advisories. There seems to be an issue with the battery terminal leads. He said they kept disconnecting. Cat C. Cracked bumper. The dealer said this happened when parked at his property. Hmmmm. 100,000 miles.
I don't think I've missed anything. Send me a message if this interests you, or if you have any advice. If I were to buy it and sell it straight on, I was thinking maybe £600? A smidge more than I'll pay.
Thanks.
