I paid same for mine almost ten years ago with 150k on the clock and it still has all gears Saloon or Tourer ? Condition of the bodywork ? Modifications (wheels/brakes/suspension)? Number of previous owners ? Are you likely to be using it in a ULEZ zone ?

I recall during my time searching for a replacement modulator, one of the companies repairing them confirmed they did not dismantle the box fully but fitted parts on the outside which may or may not have been a third party switch. Did you take pictures of the original modulator whilst checking...
