Looks nice, the replaced parts may suggest it's been driven fairly hard for 67K miles or the remap has had an adverse affect on these parts.
Worth a look I would suggest if that's what your after.

the replacement parts would put me off tbh. price is ok but if your patient you can get a mint one i waited a few months and i got my 04 plate for 6400 it only had 35000 on the clock
Also it's had two new wheels so may have met a curb rather hard at some point in its life....does look clean although as above those replacement parts hint at a hard life....

Its not a bad looking motor to be honest. I would be inclined to great rid of the window tints. Too much black there for my liking.

the only way really to tell is a test drive. when i first started driving i got a Mk3 Golf 1.9td. My uncle who is a mechanic came with me to look at it. there was a 114,000 miles on it already. i never test drived it but he did. She is still going today with 150,000 on her in 2 and bit years.
Says alot about mechanics and cars being test driven!

looking at it again looks like it's been in a front end smash...alignment of the bumper/lights grill looks all over the place to me....
TBH, it a fair bit under what I was looking to pay, was going for a low mile 05/55 plate car, but this one is close, and i have not found anything else that people dont want too much cash for 
Can't drive very well with "3-tone" of polish on it 
N/S headlight is not aligned corectly, it bolts to the front panel so could indicate a knock to the front before.
Not bad money tho

hmmm 67k on a ko4? overly agressive remap?
better cars can be had for that money, key i found with buying cars is not to buy in impulse,
Asking on here shows you have doubts, Even the slightest doubt walk away to be hoonest,
a good way to judge how a cars been driven is to check between 12 and 2 o-clock on the steering wheel it'll show whether the cars been driven one handed sprinning with the palm of the hand, its not 1oo% but give some indication,

Had my doubts about it with the things that had "failed" on it. did a hpi check and it was cat D. Told the chao who was selling it and he said he didnt know and offered it to me for a grand less....
A cat d isn't always a bad ting, if your looking to keep a car for a while, or until it's worth nowt, and it has been repaired to a high standard then they can be a bit of a bargain. Unfortunatley this on looks a bit rough so i would stay away!
Hi Rocky, I would agree with you and in the past i have take a plane to scotland for the right car and price, just having a two year old and a new baby means it a bit difficult at the moment, i guess the search continues
