Yes. Walk away unless the vehicle is fixed to the required standard.
There are plenty of FL2s for sale and prices are dropping, due to the anti diesel brigade making waves.

Probably not picked up in an MOT as MOTs are for vehicle road worthiness. There's obviously something wrong with it, so it's sensible to make sure it's sorted before you buy, or walk away. If you buy with an exciting fault, you are basically accepting it and the whatever remedial cost is.
