Should I buy a Ford Escape with banged-up cargo area?

Hi,

Looking at a 2012 Escape with 105k miles. 6 cyl auto, VIN 1FMCU0DG5CKA99122. As Scotty's said before, you don't know about any accidents or major repairs just by the car check report. It's really scratched up in the cargo area, wondering if there's anything that can make it look better. Owner must have used it for hauling stuff. If the car checks out otherwise, thinking about asking for a lower price because of the condition of the back. Thanks.

Given the failure trends for that model I don't know that I'd want to get involved with it in the first place unless maybe it's really cheap and a mechanic says it's in good condition - for now.

My aunt bought a brand new Escape a year older than that. She paid cash for it, because she drove for a living. I think she's close to retirement now. She was putting probably 25-30k miles a year on that car. She drove mainly on highways and country roads, though.
