Doesn't look that bad tbh, but I guess if you compare it to other for sale at similar money then you'll get a better idea of where it reasonably sits for your budget.

Tbh distance shouldn't be an issue, I'd rather travel for the right car as opposed to settling for some rusty one just because it's within a convenient catchment area, setting yourself up for a fall before you start if you ask me.

Even if you take £500 in travel expenses as a over inflated number, it's still cheaper than having to repair bodywork and god knows what else.
