It's only a Honda diesel 9 hp engine so what make/model size pump does it have ?
Flow rate (lpm) & true working psi (bar) pressure is two of the most important thing you need to know when looking for a decent washer.

£500 is decent days work and you've got your money back, if you're desperate for a machine I Would go have a look.

I have VWF which I am in the process of claiming for my disability pension. I am also eligable to claim my old age pension being an ex miner with a short life expectancy.
