Question Buying an A4, but AA data check reveals recent change of ownership (2 weeks)

Hi all, I'm thinking about buying an A4 (after my last one was written off by some chav!) and need some advice.

I've not had a chance to veiw the car yet but have seen photo's and it seems in fairly good condition. It's a 1999 T reg and has about 93K on the clock, 1.9 TDi SE 110 saloon, FASH, 11months MOT and 3months TAX, £2995.

Thing is I purchased an AA car data check which revealed a couple of things:

The mileage on the advert is 93215, but the DVLA has it recorded at 94000.

Also the history of exchanges gets me a bit worried:
"Number of previous keepers4Most recent keeper change 07/04/2008 Dates of other changes:
01/01/2008
05/07/2005
24/06/2002"
The current owner has only had the car for about two weeks and prior to him it was owned for about 4months.

Could this be perfectly acceptable, ie. they just didn't like the car, or is there something wrong with it and I should steer clear of it?

Any suggestions guys?
