you will be asking a bias question to the seller probably getting the best car in the world if not the universe as an answer.
If YOU don't
then take someone who knows.
if you don't know someone who knows.
AA/RAC do inspections or maybe a local garage.
good luck

Main question - Is this genuine 1972 Mini or a later car (possibly stolen) with a fake identity?
Lift the bonnet & check if the front subframe has two bolts each side of the bulkhead, if it's one large bolt each side then just walk away.
This is what a genuine 1972 Mk3 should look like http://www.theminifo...k3#entry3531052
Twin bolt subframe, roof gutter with drain holes that aren't above the vertical seams, round exhaust tunnel etc.
