OK, so its a 50/50 chance of being good/bad.
It could be perfect, it could be blowing oil but you might be able to tell quite a bit by listening to it and looking at the exhaust emission.
You pays your money and you takes the risk!
If you can wait for one of known use that would be preferable.

can you fit it inside two months - if so then the warranty is some peace of mind, if you can't then it's all risk..might be a good, might not....if the vehicle's a breaker then it's milage may be a guide to the engine's

take my advice and spend a little more on a whole car , i got a golf TDI for 200 quid few weeks ago, you can drive/ run it, take as long as you need with it and you have all the bit you need, even spend a little more now, trust me dont trust scrappies,
