first car - help needed please!

hi all - hope im posting in the right place and the post is ok. im going to view a car tomorrow, first time buyer. I know no one wants to end up with a dud car, but ive been saving for over a year and the main purpose of the car is to be able to take my young children on trips - so need something super reliable because i cant afford to lose the money.

looks to be a nice VW POLO, with 59,000 miles. hes asking £1700 but was going to go in with a max spend of £1600.(hopefully more like £1500).

curretly has no MOT but hes taking it for one first thing. full service history is available.

so i just did a MOT checker with DVLA. last one passed but "front wheel alignment recommended" and "nail in nsr tyre"

previous (2015) failed initially -
