Well, the selling dealer never managed to sort it despite having a week to do it, so I'd think it was far from simple. As I described in my opening post, it wasn't just a case of not starting, it would run instantly on the second crank of the starter but to get it going on the first meant pressing the accelerator at least half down to make it fire. An internet search confirmed Z's opinion, plus the possibility of weak compression on one or more cylinders.
The dealer didn't quibble when I cancelled the sale today and returned my deposit there and then, so they obviously found something expensive was the cause.
