Buying NI years

Hi,
I am currently working in Asia.
I am thinking about purchasing extra years for my state pension.
I am 46 years old and worked in the UK until I moved overseas in august 2013.
I have 24 years of full contributions.
My current estimate is £100.56
My state pension forecast is £159.55 if I contribute another 13 years.
My COPE amount is £38.30.
I was contracted out for many years.
Is it possible to buy pre-2016 years to increase my future state pension?
I think I am currently eligible for the class 2 option.
I will be returning to the UK in the next few years but I will probably not work 13 years so would prefer to buy extra years now if possible.
Many thanks for your responses.

Buying pre 2016 years will add to your entitlement as you currently have less than 30.0
