I think the colour is the same as mine (189u) Emerald Green, though it is called Black on my V5.
Yes, strange MOT history, the missing VIN for a few years would bother me.
I wonder if it's had a replacement windscreen, due to relevant advisories followed by the missing VIN?
I reckon you might have to double your money just to get the car to a good standard. I get the feeling maintenance hasn't always been high on the list of owners' priorities.
