Its also a 7 year old car, when its registered it will be a 2000 reg plate 
and the likes of cambelts, oil, lubricants etc all deteriorate and can cause problems (like the corrosive element of coolant for instance in the radiator and engine), if its not serviced then its not worth that much, mileage makes no difference.

But hopefully it was dry stored properly..
Personally I wouldnt sell it, after that many years it cant owe him anything so why not get it on the road and have the cleanest example of a standard 2000 in the country no doubt

Coolant is acutally corrosive, just read the bottle its not good to leave it in there for 7 years without changing it 
The oil will still break down over time, started or not, so will the brake and clutch fluids, as will the diff fluids, your rubber brake hoses will probably need changing also, and the pads if the car has been standing
Its acutally better to buy a 70k mile car with fsh than one that may have 300 miles on the clock and not serviced in 7 years
Give you a hint use to be in the army for 11 years, we had war stock (before the tories sold it all off) these vehicles were 20-40 years old, had 700 miles on the clock, serviced every 6 months, started every week, now one of those id buy
