Graham,

have no real experience of this but I think that actually seeing and hearing it run (maybe even driving with it if still in a car) would be the best way to tell if the engine is any good, other than that you want evidence of recent work/care in the form of obviously new parts/bills.

HTH :)

117,000 miles and can be heard running in the car, its in a P Reg

Listen for the chain rattle on start up and give it a good warm up, Ideally try and get an OBD scan but I think as the youngest of these cars is clocking on for 7 years old then short of buying a new Ford unit (££££'s) you pay your money and take your chance :)
