Fair enough, you obviously believe they should be kept in a garage. This guy obviously bought his to use.
It's not exactly hard to understand why he could have lost an mot. People lose things all the time, especially over 20 years.
As for the paint, it's done 83000 miles so it's obviously going to get the odd chip/scratch here and there. I'd bet 90% of RS's have had a bit of paint in their lives. Even some that are claimed haven't.
At the end of the day the guy has been honest and put it up for a fair price.
