This looks rather tempting.

I recall seeing this outside Dick Lovett when it was in for the rustproofing some time ago. A nice thing but with some lacquer peel to the paint on one front wing I assume by now corrected. Also erear bumper possibly resprayed? From the MOT history it sounds like the rustproofing was a bit heavy-handed and some advisories have been left to run and run not suggesting it has been maintained to the 'highest standard' 
Will come down to price, bargain on the face of it.

Unusual colour combo but certainly unique. Strong price in this climate as you can get a 6 year younger GT Sport for similar money

It is a MC-Victory - such comparisons do not apply

Guess we are about to find out but I would defer to Dicky. Not been below 50K for some time, nearer 60K is the norm. Modern Classics article valued them at 70K at peak but there are very few points of reference.

As hashluck says it doesn't look the finest exanple but if cheap enough could make sense. Seems like the seat side bolts looks rusty and the door locating pins are rusty as well. With many references to rust/corrosion on MOT history this won't be the finest garage queen I suspect. Also suggests it hasn't been garaged so condition will be impacted a bit.
Had some dialogue with the seller and was serviced 2008 and 2010 before he bought it only substantiated by stamps in book and no bills prior to 2012. So service history light as should be 12.5k or 12 months as we know.
Also looks from the pics that the front spoiler/splitter could have a bit of surface damage. I think they were £4k to replace so not cheap.
Shame it hasn't been looked after like an MCV should be but at the right price it could work. Won't be anywhere near 50k or 60k that others have made due to mileage, condition and light service history.

This.
Could be a bargain for the right person, and a misery for the wrong person.
Still wonder how much getting Quaife to put an MCV-spec steering rack in a normal one would be. By and large the rest of the MCV package is nice, but non-essential. However, once you’ve tried that steering rack, it’s very hard to go back...

This. But also. The seats. The seats. Don't forget the seats.

I'd agree John....lovely seats. Is it me or are those bolts on the side of the seat rusty? I've never seen rusty bolts on the interior of a car like that before. I wonder if it is a car that has spent a lot of time outside near the sea?

Other tell tale signs of real detailed top tier care/maintenance is the door opening surround seal. A clear nick/split in the drivers side at the bottom/sill. A fastidious owner would have this repaired or changed. As consistent with repeating advisories on the MOT history I would suggest ownership hasn't been fastidious.
I'm being ultra critical and harsh but these cars do command top money so you would want a top car for top money. I suspect this one will need to be much cheaper than previous strong cars have sold for last few years. Also current Covid climate won't help.

Yes they do. I have seen it happen on Astons on, say, the door shut screws, when they live outside but never actually inside the car. I am wondering given the constant MOT History mention of the 'underseal' on the underside what it is covering up. That said I am sure the Dick Lovett bodyshop carried that out (but I could well be wrong and this may have been a subsequent or prior application).
