    Speaking as someone who works in a dealership i have found AA inspections to be very thorough when they have been done to cars we have sold and would recommend them to anyone buying a second hand car. You certainly get more done than a £10 HPI check. Although in the OP's situation I suspect on any £700 car they will find a lot of reasons not to buy the car.
