    A 9 year old car with 85k miles is going to have stone chips and dents as a matter of course.

    How often has it been serviced though? Previous MOT's?

    What paperwork do they have?

    How abused is it?

    Not sure there are many 'freebies' to be chucked in - maybe a service and MOT and a full tank of fuel.
