Don't know much myself but taking a brief look at the photo that's an aftermarket can on it I think.
If so ask if it comes with the original too and if not, check that the can is MOTable, eg, got baffles and not stamped 'Not For Road Use' etc.
I was always told, regardless if it's been resprayed (as that may have been because of a simply colour preference) if it has any additional stickers - check them carefully as they are often on there to hide damage of some kind.
Whatever you do, if you're looking at it in a dealers, don't be too embarassed or let yourself feel pressured - take your time and give it a really good looking over.
Don't be tempted to cut corners just because you've got a salesman looking over your shoulder.
I've got a V reg SVs and it was a very tidy well cared for bike. Minters are out there, so here's hoping you strike lucky.
