As others have said, the aircraft has to be on a CofA so no Permit available.
The wing is lifed at 11000 hours on a Tomahawk and includes 'associated structure' in the fuselage, ie the attachment brackets - plenty of time left on this one in private use.
Engine TBO is 2400 hrs so there is plenty of time left on the engine. O-235s run well and will probably go the distance with out a top overhaul unless it's been badly mis-treated or sat dormant for ages.
CofA renewal fee (EASA 2 year) will be about £400 plus £1700ish for the basic CofA Star Annual inspection to be carried out plus defect rectification and parts (some airframe parts are getting difficult to source).
There is probably a reason for the aircraft being ex-CofA, might be just a lack of funds on the owners part, might be hidden snags.
I agree with others, if you want a PA38 then buy one that is already working!
